Hi. I’m new here. A couple of years ago, I met a guy through mutual friends. I knew from the beginning that he had a girlfriend because he didn’t hide it. One day he added me on Facebook and he started stalking me. We are long distance, by the way. He used to like/comment on my status frequently and he liked my selfies. I thought it was weird for him to talk to me and be so friendly since he had a girlfriend. In my mind, I thought he wasn’t happy in his relationship.
Even though I didn’t like him at first, I started catching feelings for him. One day I got jealous because I saw him flirting with another girl. I was turned off and distanced myself from him. We drifted apart and I started dating other guys. But I started having thoughts of “what if…” I never flirted with that guy but I was afraid I was going to regret it in the future because I still had feelings for him. So I added him on Facebook again to try to rekindle our friendship. I sent him a message saying that I appreciate his friendship and that I liked talking to him in the past. He said he was happy to hear from me but he also mentioned that he felt bad that I disappeared without an explanation. But that we could still keep in touch.
After that, I tried to show my interest by liking his posts. I never did this in the past and now he seems annoyed by this. The first time I liked something, he acted weird and stopped posting when he’s frequently active. Then after a long time of not interacting with him, I liked another one of his posts. I was the only one liking it. Well, the very next day he shared an old picture of him and his girlfriend on the Facebook newsfeed. I took it as a sign of rejection. Like he’s telling me to leave him alone. The weird thing is that he almost never posts pictures with her. And why an old photo instead of a recent one? I just felt like he did it on purpose to reject me. What do you think? And if he’s so happy with her, why was he talking to me?
