What possible reason would a guy have to continue to interact with me after choosing someone else?

[Anonymous]

I've made it as clear as I can I don't want him in my life, he has someone and I want to get over all the time wasted on him and get on with my life. Over the last 8 months (of his new relationship) he continues to try to interact with me as he did before when he was single, him and his girlfriend moved in together 8 months ago they are still together and do double dates with his friends and dinners with each others families - this is pretty legit yet he won't leave me alone I have been less than pleasant to interact with throughout this time ignoring all digital contact and keeping to less then five words if that when in person, honestly can't recall the last time I even smiled in his presence. I don't understand the logic in his actions and I am having a really hard time moving on, asking for the male perspective on this one?

I’d block him and move on. You’ve made your stance clear. There’s nothing more to it.


But you mentioned in person? Why do you still have in person contact with him?

We work in a similar industry (small world)

Ahhh. That’s a bummer. Yeah I’d just try to focus on your life tho. Find someone who’s better for you

Because he wants to fuck you. Simple as that. Even though he has a chick he wants to have you by his side in case he decides to cheat or something goes wrong w the other squirrel. Not that hard to ignore him, block him on all forums.

If you kept trying with someone and she was super unreceptive or flat out being a complete bitch during every single interaction for months you can't tell me you won't be like ok forget it im out

It depends on how much he likes her. But honestly do you want to be his second choice? Knowing that if she said yes to him you’d just be a backup, a memory, someone to fall back on in case things go wrong.
