What does it mean if a man flirts with other girl in front of his crush?

People in general tend to throw logic out the window when they develop a crush. When communication fails, BOTH men and women tend to do irrational things. Since the question was directed at why men do it, that is how I will answer. However, you could ask yourself the same question in reverse.

What does it mean if a woman flirts with other men in front of her crush?

Testing You: He might be trying to gauge your feelings for him by observing your reaction to his flirting with other women in front of you.

No Reason: it might simply mean he's not ready, or looking for a serious relationship.

Mask: Maybe he just doesn't know the crush is mutual, and faking an interest in other woman acts as a mask to hide his true feelings.

Nice Guy: The phrase "Nice Guys Finish Last" is unfortunately a very true statement He could be pretending to be the "Bad Boy" that woman tend to pick over the "Nice Guys"

Details Needed: Without context there's too many possibilities. How long have you known him? Are you just friends? Have you talked to him about the crush? Does he always flirt with other woman or was it a one time thing?

I don't think one can genuinely flirt with someone without having at least a little bit of a crush on them. It's important to distinguish between a crush and a choice of partner. A man may indeed not currently want a partner, but have many crushes. The important thing is to make sure they know, at least subtly.

I would be so pissed and have such a big adrenaline rush that I would get in a physical fight and go after both of them, then walk away. Let them have each other. I take stuff like that seriously. I don't play those stupid baby games anymore.
I used to just feel really hurt by him when he would do that in front of me, which happened a lot. He didn't care if I was standing right there, he'd flirt with another woman right in front of me and think nothing of it.
Everyone has a breaking point and I was at mine. He's lucky he died cause I wasn't going to take it anymore.

[sage2021]

What does it mean? That he doesn't have real feelings for his crush and he wants to be single so his womanizing behavior can continue. He eats it up when he gets to flirt. It raises his ego and puffs him up. Tell him to get lost cause he will just keep doing it. It's his M. O.

[IslaTheWitch]

that he likes flirting?
that he likes this other girl?
that he wants to engage his crush (maybe is shy? you gave no details, so it's guessing fest)
that this is the only way to make his crush interested?

whatever? If you want more plausible answers, give more details

[Asker]

What detalis should i give

[IslaTheWitch]

imagine a friend asking you the question, you asked us, what information do you need to answer this question?

[AmandaYVR]

• He flirts with lots of people, is not that discriminating.
• He has crushes on both of them.
• He is not actually interested in his crush.

It's not that he's playing games, or trying to make her jealous. Girls do this. Guys don't nearly as much. Guys have enough trouble trying to get any girl interested in them, and bold enough to make a move and tell him.

[Somoneelse]

As first. What makes you sure he has a crush on a girl while flirting with another girl? What do you also see a flirting? Maybe he is like that with everyone by just being himself. Some people have that behaviour what others see as flirting. Might als be to make a girl jalous

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Probably trying to make himself seem more valuable in the sense that if she doesn't escalate their relationship, it's not like he doesn't have other enticing options.

Not really such an unfair move depending on the situation

[HawkPerception]

If he's a manipulative guy, then it could mean he's trying to make his crush jealous. But it could also just mean that he finds the girl he's flirting with attractive.

[summiter]

It means he is an ass that most likely would cheat

[Finchie40]

Are you sure she is his crush? If I had a crush on a girl , my ass wouldn’t be flirting with other girls’ I would be flirting with my crush

[JayBones]

It's either to get your attention or the attention of the other woman. The game is to see who responds in kind. He's not going to keep flirting with you if there is no reward.

[Asker]

But he isn't flirting like that with me 💀 thats the thing thats weird. He isn't shy with one woman, but is shy with one another? But he still stares at me when he walks by, not her. So i dont get it.

[JayBones]

Yeah I can see that. That's why him passing you by in only a matter of time. You aren't compatible

[incorrected]

Have you considered just asking him how he really feels about you?

[OlderAndWiser]

It means either that the "crush" is really not his crush. . . or he is an idiot.

[ImHere22]

That he's an idiot and actually enjoys being alone.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

He's interested in the girl he's flirting with.

[catsmemoir]

Possibly trying to get his crush to notice? A sort of psychological prompt to say "Hey! I like you but i'm not gonna be stuck in your friendzone. I have other options"

[Avicenna]

Means he's not sold on the crush wanting to date him

[lungcapacitor]

I would say he is either a player or trying to make his crush jealous.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

He likes that girl probably,

so he should not be your crush.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

He could be doing it to make her jealous.

[CuriousMufuxka]

I tried briefly to interject some rationality into this stupid question and failed. Be ashamed anon.

[Bklynbadboy12]

If he's flirting with another girl maybe she's the one he has a crush on. What did he do that made you think he has a crush on you

[KrakenAttackin]

Maybe he's not that into his "crush".

[standardguy]

He wants his crush to turn jealous or show him that she is cool.

[DreamLife7]

It means he doesn't like you. I don't know why you assume he has a crush on you.

[rebeliouse]

means his crush is not trying hard enough to please

[Ferrin]

trying to impress his crush perhaps and get noticed

[boggboss]

That he thinks acting like that showd his value

[Asker]

But the funny thing is, that he gets very shy around his "crush" and can't even flirt with her like that.

[Asker]

But if he likes her, then why is he acts like that in front of her?

[boggboss]

OK so what happens next

[boggboss]

Because in his mind it shows he can get other girls

[Asker]

The other girl didn't flirt back. She didn't like him that way.

[boggboss]

OK lol

[RavVid]

He is not that interested in his crush.

[strateguy632]

that he is fun loving

[laly520]

trying so hard to impress or to be noticed

[Tharithi]

Red carpet he is

[TheSpaceGnome]

It means you need to dump him.

[LaurenM1997]

To make her jealous

[CozyCoffin]

What if she's not his crush?

[Anonymous]

He really is a man.

[Iron_Man]

You better talk to him about it

[In_Trance]

It doesn't necessarily mean anything

[OddBeMe]

How do you know he’s got a crush?

[krin_m]

That he is interested in her.

[Anonymous]

I guess he’s trying to make her jealous

[Anonymous]

He's trying to make her feel jealous.

[Zestyassmf1997]
