Guy told me he has a girlfriend but seems interested?

[Anonymous]

So basically we joined our office a month ago both of us are new recruits. I never used to talk to him but I would catch him staring at me sometimes then he would quickly look away. Anyways him and his friends started sitting the same place where me and my friends sit so all of us interacted every day in some way or the other and became friends.

Last week he asked for my number for no specific reason and my friend and I both interpreted that as him being interested. Anyways few days later he tells me out of the blue that he has a girlfriend and he told me this while we were talking one on one. He never mentioned his girlfriend in front of the others and still doesn't.

What's more he said yesterday that he thinks I'm cute and I look the cutest when I laugh. He also got a bit jealous when I was telling my friend that a guy was flirting with me in the office. I don't understand what's up with him? I completely started ignoring him after he told me has a girlfriend but he still keeps initiating conversation with me every day.

He also seems kind of shy and nervous around me.

I think he's looking for a hook-up. Be careful. Remember if he cheats with you, he'll cheat on you.

Yeah I get that but thing is I don't give him any signs that I'm interested in him I mean he's the one who keeps initiating conversations with me and tries to get my attention. So what would make him think I would be interested in hooking up with him after knowing he has a girlfriend?

[Better_off_here]

regardless of what signs he may be giving you he is attached and you should not get involved. if he trying to attract another woman while being with someone he is not good news. who is to say that he may not do that to you if you too get together.

[Asker]

Why would I want to get involved? I clearly said I had starting ignoring him after he told me this but he's the one who keeps initiating conversations with me and trying to get my attention.

[Better_off_here]

what i did not say was that you should of told him to stop and he was not in the right for what he was doing. he was the one in the wrong of course. he would of only got the message if you told him to his face that he needed to stop.

Sounds like he could be into having a secret affair with you. If you want to go for it, just be aware that chances of him ever wanting a relationship with you is super low.

[Asker]

Well there are religious issues too. Means he and I both know in our minds that it would never work out. But yeah do you think he was telling the truth about having a girlfriend? Also, if he wanted a secret affair he could have easily hid it from me.

[Asker]

*hid the fact that he has a girlfriend

[Opinion Owner]

that you know in your mind it would not work does not mean you cannot get feelings :D.. I have no idea if he would lie or not.. but it is a bit difficult to hide it from you down the line.. like if you wanted to see his place.

Thank him for being honest and cut him loose. You don't want to be the side chick, do you?

[Asker]

Uhh he was honest he has a girlfriend but still keeps flirting with me. I want to ignore him completely but he doesn't let that happen.

[Wise4myage]

Then maybe you should tell his girlfriend.

[Clarke498]

Might just be to make you jealous

[Asker]

that's what I thought as well... did he want me to do something about it?

[Clarke498]

Eh just ask you out i guess.

[Clarke498]

Just for you to ask him out*

[postaldudePL123]

If you know she has girlfriend then you must be uninterested. Case closed!

[postaldudePL123]

*he has

[Sam_The_Savage]

There is no crime to have 2 girlfriend at a time.

[In_Trance]

[Asker]

[MathysD]
