Search Results: i dont know how to flirt

Long story short - he (lets say tom) and I admitted our feelings for each other but never dated as he was in a relationship. he came out of it 2-3 months ago. he showed interest in me and tried to find out if he still had a chance with me. I kept my distance because i didn't know he is single.

now, he tries to find out if i've started seeing a guy and feels insecure if i talk to our common male work friends. he was subtly flirting with me for 2 days and then on day 3, when i went to talk to him a few times, he talked nicely at first but then suddenly started avoiding me. It felt disrespectful so from next day, i started ignoring him completely. I talk to our common work friends but dont even look at him at group lunches with work friends. also there's a new male colleague so i talk to him in front of Tom.
now Tom tries to talk to me, was literally chasing me around lunch table to sit with me and treats me nicely (serving me tea at lunch table). why is he doing this?

so my ex and I split a few weeks ago but still have contact via text. The split was mutual.

i got back into online dating (which is how we met) and started talking to this guy. I asked for his number and he willingly gave it. Thing is, he gave my exes number!!

i texted my ex without saying anything and just “is this your number?”. Ex replied saying he had given that phone to his friend’s younger brother a couple of weeks ago and asked me why I was asking.

i screenshotted the conversation with the catfish and my ex said he knew nothing about it and queried why he would give me his number.

It just makes no sense at all.

I probed my ex but he got upset and said not to message him again. He then sent me a screenshot of him texting another girl who he was clearly flirting with at the exact time I got the messages. Looks like he moved on! he's offered to meet to try and sort this out.

I just dont know what to believe

I have been talking to this guy on and off for about a couple years. We were getting to know each other/ flirting.

I guess in that time i somehow lead him on. We never end up meeting. Recently i messaged him after some time of not talking and asked him about this situation. First i told him lets just be friends and he said lets not put labels on it and just see what happens.

The night before we "met" i told him i just wanna be friends and that i dont wanna lead him on. He said he was fine with friends. The guy ended up standing me up and after many times trying to get him to answer he said he was proving a point and it was karma after what i did to him.

I’ve been working for months to get the attention of this guy “C”. Like we were friendly but I’ve been wanting him to flirt and admit he likes me too. This week he finally confesses that he does like me but is trying to fight it off due to distance. Next thing you, know 4 other dudes pop up the day after. Like what are the chances and right before the new year. I brushed off the majority because they consisted of major dealbreakers. But i met this guy “K” who is literally another C but noticed me romantically immediately. The connection was nearly 10 times stronger and he's closer in distance. But i like that C and I worked up a friendship first. Its something I needed to do in past relationships that I did not. K told me to get to know them both but I know C would be totally against this because he’s already showing signs of jealousy when it comes to other men approaching me. Do I get to know K in secret or do i tell C? Plus K just got out of a relationship and claims he's not rebounding. I somewhat believe he isn't because neither was i. But I dont know what to do because I dont want to go into 2020 in another love triangle
