Why would someone flirt with you and another girl in front of you?

Anonymous

So, I had a huge crush on his guy like five years ago, but I never approached him because he is my brother's friend and I did not want to risk their friendship or hurt my brother. So I gave up on him. Then I moved to a different country and we never saw each other until two years ago when he sent me a friend request on Facebook. I thought he just wanted to be friends. He seemed like a nice guy so I did not think anything bad about him. He did not reach out to me until after a year of becoming friends on Facebook. One day, he just randomly texted me and was flirting with me. He confessed that he liked me but did not tell me because of his friendship with my brother. I freaked out! So anyways, cutting the story short, we flirted with each other for like four months. During that time, I kind of saw a lot of red flags about him, but I completely ignored them. He wasn't the kind of guy who posts a lot of stuff online, but ever since we started talking, he started posting so much more like one post a day. He also started posting stories. I thought he was trying to get my attention. He would also constantly like my stories too. When we were texting, he would make plans with me and would say all these nice things. It made me happy. Then one day he posted a screenshot of his conversation with a girl he follows and tagged her. Naturally, that made me curious so I went on and checked her profile. Her profile isn't private so I could see what she posts and who interacts with her posts. I found out he was flirting with her over her posts. He was commenting on her videos in a very flirty way. That broke me. I started questioning my worth. I stopped texting him after that. He would still like my stories and I couldn't understand why. Then I eventually stopped posting stories and rarely watched his. I think at that point, he understood that I am trying to avoid him. So he also eventually stopped watching my stories as well. Why would he do that? Please help!
