Search Results: people are gossiping

My guy friend and I are in relationships with people at other schools but we flirt like crazy. He texted me today and told me a girl in our class had warned him that I had a crush on him. He knows that I did. I don't anymore but I think he thinks I still do. He texted that she "knows about your crush".

I don't want people gossiping, especially since I really don't have a crush anymore. We just flirt for fun.

How do we deflect attention? I'm afraid if I just stop talking to him that would seem obvious too. We are just super close and comfortable so it looks like we're a couple.

My guy friend constantly talks about sex with me. He makes sure I know that he gets laid and is always gossiping about other people's sex lives. He's very flirty with me, we touch a lot and he's said he's really comfortable around me. He knows I'm into him and let's me touch him wherever I want. This is in school, so it's fairly harmless. I pinch him, we tickle each other, grab hands, wrestle, play footsie and so on.

He insists that he would never joke about sex with anyone he actually wanted to sleep with because that would be "tacky". But he lies all the time, too. I thought guys joked about sex with girls they liked to put the idea out there but not look dumb if she's not into it. After all, it was only a joke.

He's also joked a lot about us being a couple and told me I talk to him like a gf. We are super intimate but not sexual.
