Why doesn’t my friends with benefits want to be seen in public with me?

[Anonymous]

He never wants to go out and when I see him in public, he acts like he doesn’t know me.

Yet, when I end things, he does everything in his power to get my attention and start things up again (calling using different numbers, following me using fake accounts, etc.)

He fears negative judgment from his friends and family. What do you want? Presumably you aren't getting it or you wouldn't be asking.

Either he has a girlfriend/wife or a girl he's intrested in or he sees you as a mo-ped.

Mo-peds being fun to ride but you don't want to be seen on one.

It’s because he has a girlfriend and doesn’t want you to know

he is ashamed on you.. he has a girl friend..

From my understanding according to our mutual friends, I am his physical type to a tee (hence why he nothing short of begged for a chance) and (at least on paper) I’m everything that he’s looking for.

But we’ve had the following conversations:

Me: “Are you in a relationship?”

Him: “… Well, I’m going on dates.”

Me: “Does anyone think that they’re in a relationship with you?”

Him: “… I’m getting to know one other woman. I typically get to know two women at once.”

Us in bed one night:

Me: “So, why are you single? You have a lot going for you. Usually someone like you would be in a relationship?”

Him: *staring at the ceiling and can’t look me in the face* “I don’t know.”
