Search Results: stare back

I have a colleague who I have a crush on. We have a flirty relationship which includes things like him staring at me, but when we’re in a group he avoids eye contact and looks at other people more than me. He has been seemingly jealous in the past.

I have been away for a week and today was my first day back. As soon as he saw me he said “it’s about time you came and did some work”. I asked him if he missed me, and without hesitation he said “not at all, it’s been lovely and quiet without you”

I know that this would not be the case because he works closely with another girl who is just as bubbly/giggly if not more so.

I was telling another colleague about what he said, and she said that she asked him last week if he missed me. He just responded with “it’s very quiet”.

Was he disguising the fact that he missed me?

Im normal weight (size 6) and this dude I slept with and wanted to see me desperately the next day said he couldn’t go on pursuing me because I’m too big for him and he needed someone skinnier so he would look dominant since he himself is quite slim (but at 6 foot 4 also quite tall). I was really upset about this and when I looked through his Instagram followings I noticed he followed many really young looking women with pubescent bodies (many borderline anorexic) that don’t follow him back. His best friend disclosed that while he is a friendly guy he tends to be manipulative and exhibits stalker tendencies with women. He still watches all my insta stories and keeps glancing and staring at me when he sees me in public despite rejecting me. The dude is 26 and refers to women as girls. Is that normal? Am I overreacting?
