Guy I like has new girlfriend

[Primrose]

A man I was attracted to and thought he liked me too now has a new girlfriend. Seeing them together is hard. He's very affectionate with her in front of me. I feel like a fool when I see them together. He knew I had feelings for him and so did my friend. It appeared like he was definitely interested in me too.

The first few times I met him with her he seemed to be looking at me to see my reaction, which was weird. I did my best to look cheerful. Now he told me and my friend she is moving in with him. I wish I could feel genuine happiness for them but I just feel sad and foolish about it all.

You can still turn it around. My advice:

Go to his house and strip naked , say you want his babies. This might scare him, he may think you are insane..but being a man he may think you're...fun... and after you've hooked him. He might...



Actually discount that. That's terrible advice. But seriously...

I know of a similar circumstance I observed. I think some woman just don't know how to keep a mans attention. To some, these things are just physical transactions, and nothing more. Humans are very complicated. People do things for a variety of reasons. Only you know what's going on...we don't have enough info to help you, here...these are complex dynamics...takes great ability to read people.

He seemed to be looking at you to see your reaction? That's strange behaviour. I don't think you can be expected to feel happy in that situation.

Thanks. I think you are right, it's probably too much to feel happy about it all at the moment.

If that's really the case than it sounds like he's not the guy to be pursuing.

That this may prove to be more of a blessing than a curse.

I agree with Judge. This will probably turn out to be more of a blessing than a curse. Good riddance to anyone who tries to make you feel bad about yourself by flaunting something you wanted from them but couldn't have. That's just spiteful of him!
But I've been in your situation before and I've been hurt and sad and angry and cried over lots of guys. You deserve someone who will treat you right. Sometimes our emotions get played with and it's really mean of people to do that to us
I'm here to support you. You don't need to let this guy take up any space in your head. You deserve to surround yourself with people who will treat you with respect and empathy

Yeah I agree with this. If you show interest in someone and that person even seem to show some interest in you, and then he flaunts his new girlfriend in your face, that's just rude and stupid. So unnecessary.

 

[Primrose]

Thank you all for your kindness. It definitely feels like he is flaunting the new relationship in my face. He gets very affectionate with her on street in front of me which seems unnecessary. She is a lot younger than him (and me). He is acting very smug, I think.

Yes, I probably had a lucky escape. It just hurts a lot right now.
