Search Results: signs he wants you to back off

So me and my boyfriend have been together for 1 year officially but we’ve known eachother for 3 years. There’s a couple things that still come back to me that I forgave him about & I’ve noticed some good changes in him after several conversations trying to work things out & I appreciate it but there’s still things I know he does that he thinks I don’t know that make me upset. The thing is I have brought it up to him many times & at this point I’m just giving up my energy I give ti him. He’s noticed I’ve been a little distant. I’m older than him by 3 years it’s not much but he’s 25. He’s been sweet but there things that still bother me that he does that he knows because I’m a straight up person & have let him know. But men just don’t comprehend a lot oh things. My question is why do I feel unhappy even when he tries to work on something’s? Sometimes I do want to breakup with him & I’ve tried but he still comes back & begs me to not let this go. I don't know if I’m the problem or if what I’m feeling is a sign ti break things off.

There's a guy in my neighborhood who always scopes me out.

He tried chatting me up but kept freezing.

Finally, he managed to look me in the eye and we exchanged "hello"s.

I noticed he wears a thin silver band on his middle finger on his right hand.

He is always staring from afar watching me intently but also breaking and avoiding eye contact -- I do the same because his staring weirded me out.

I can tell he and his co-workers talk about me because I've seen them and also they will look at him and stare at me when I go to his place of business.

He engages in "look at me" behaviours when I'm around

• Preening
• Always walking back and forth
• Adjusting his clothes
• Fidgeting a lot
• Even trying to show off his butt (kinda gross)
• Signing a tune if I'm nearby
• Being bossy to the cooks in the kitchen and trying to look serious and in charge

All of these antics for quite some time makes me thing he just wants validation from me and nothing else.

I've always seen him smoking and would always look at his cigarette in disgust. I haven't seen him smoking for the past little bit.

Since he keeps sending signals but does nothing is his ring a sign of him being in a serious relationship?
