Why does this guy keep hitting on me even though he knows that I’m taken?

Question

He keeps doing it. I never initiate anything will him, but he initiates things with me.

Because you are a challenge to him , he thinks he can work his magic on you to try to get you to fall for him , sadly most people in general don’t really care if someone is already in a relationship with someone already , especially nowadays , if they are attracted to a person they just go for it , Guys and Girls’s do this , they get off on the challenge of it , it’s a thrill to them if they do get their way , so they will try to sweet talk you every which way to get you in bed with them. Why a lot of affairs and cheating occurs in relationships because some other person is trying to work their magic to get them to fall for them instead , If you love your boyfriend and you want your relationship to last you need to tell this other guy to back off that you have no interest in him what so ever , if you are liking the attention this guy is giving you need to stop or it could brink unwanted fire into your current relationship , so you are best to tell this guy that he has no chance whatso ever and to leave you alone or you will tell your boyfriend about him and he will kick your ass , More than likely he will get the hint and back off of you , it’s your job to do this if you want your relationship to survive

Because he doesn't care that you're taken, and he wants to be a mate poacher.

Also, because you haven't put a stop to it. You may of tried to get it to stop in a gentle way, but dudes don't take the hint or give up unless there is a very firm "Knock that fucking shit off." My wife has had to come to me with this issue and I put a stop to it.

With that said... any chance you've allowed it because you liked the attention? A lot of women have a bad tendency to play with fire until it gets out of their control... and any manipulative white lies to both men can pin her in the corner.

Some people have this "forbidden fruit" thing they find exciting. It's the FACT that you're taken that interests him and his idea that he can TAKE YOU away from someone else. Likely, once he has you, he'd lose interest.

You might want to tell him if he keeps after you, you'll file a sexual harassment complaint with the police and get a restraining order. Maybe he'll finally get the idea that you are NOT interested.

If this man is at your workplace, complain to a supervisor. If he is a neighbor, call the police and file a sexual harassment complaint. If more women did this to such idiots, fewer men would behave in this manner.

I find it worrisome that he ignores the fact that you're with someone. Tell your boyfriend. Why hasn't he told this guy to leave you alone?

Maybe he wants to “steal” you from your boyfriend. He’s probably a jerk who doesn’t care about morals or actively pursues girls in relationships and wants an ego boost.

Or, he isn’t really that interested in being with you, but wants that attention to make him feel attractive within himself. Sometimes the challenge of a girl in a relationship is more appealing to low-quality men.

Bottom line: If you respond to his advances, it boosts his ego.

You're talking to a disrespectful person who lacks a healthy sense of boundaries.

he simply doesn't care

some guys have been known to steal girlfriends from other guys. he probably believes he's one of those professional stealer either through self-belief or he's done so in the past with varying levels of difficulty but achievable

How is he hitting on you? Sometimes people think someone’s hitting on them and they’re not.

But I will take it at face value. If he’s hitting on you. He either is wanting to cheat, unhappy in the relationship, maybe trying to get a ego boost by seeing if he can get with someone, etc.

But don’t be with someone whose in a relationship

Spongebobssocks · Answer

It means he is trash. If you choose to cheat with him he will do the same to you. If I were you I would just block him out of my life. You deserve better than that:)

He's just so infatuated with you that he's willing to look the other way when it comes to your boyfriend. If he keeps it up, you may need to give him a final notice.

Mangospacho · Answer

He sees it simply as a game. The game is to get you to break off your relationship with the other guy and the prize is knowing he is somehow better than your boyfriend.

Paul_in_Indy · Answer

Experience shows that girls were taken often given to a meaningless playing at the right moment

TheThingALing · Answer

Because you don't tell him NO or STOP. reason being, you like attention

LiamJHayden · Answer

Have you at any time complained about your SO? Or otherwise indicated you were unhappy? Some guys will pursue if they think you might be on the verge of a breakup.
