Search Results: leading girls on

I got drunk and came onto a guy that I had rejected a couple months prior. I told him I had feelings for him.

The very next day he began texting me again, which he hadn’t done since I rejected him (before then he would text me all of the time). He would text me memes or start conversations about really anything. I took this to mean that he was single and still interested.

Come to find out, he wasn’t single. He recently made it official with the girl he had been seeing, but didn’t tell me.

So, I confronted him and said I think he should have told me he had a girlfriend and that I felt mislead and didn’t think we should talk anymore. In response, he told me that he only started texting me again because he didn't want me to be embarrassed about coming onto him, and he wanted me to know that we could still be friends (FYI, we were never really friends). He also said he didn’t tell me he had a girlfriend because she wanted to keep their relationship private. He says he hopes we can still be friends.

I think this is total bs and he knew good and well he was leading me on (maybe for an ego stroke). Do you think he really just wanted to be friends, or was he playing me?

So far my dating life has been nonexistent and I feel somewhat behind and left out from what all of my peers around me are experiencing. A few guys have shown interest in me, but I was not interested in them. The guys that I did have interest in, did not have interest in me. I even shot my shot twice. The first time I got rejected, the second time the guy just played with my feelings and pretended to be interested in me, so I ended things. I wouldn't say I'm particularly off-putting. Maybe I am a little too confident, but I think I am in fairly good shape and am a good person. I exercise regularly, have plenty of friends that I think can attest to my positive attributes, like being funny and open minded, and have goals in life. I honestly don't think I am below any of the other girls who do have boyfriends and constant male attention, but obviously I don't consider myself to be above them. Will it be easier to get into a relationship once I leave high school? I am graduating this year. I know that I could have just dated one of the guys that showed prior interest in me, but I would never want to get into a relationship with someone who I have no attraction to "just because" and then leading them on (like what happened to me), I would rather have it be where we are mutually romantically interested in one another. I just don't get what these girls are doing to get swarmed by guys...
