I used to fancy an acquaintance of mine, we'd flirt a lot (especially on my part TBH
), and I plucked up the courage to tell him I liked him one time as I only saw him once every couple of weeks. Unfortunately, he said he was already seeing someone, so of course I apologised and backed off, and after that I left him alone to be polite.
I thought that that would be that, and I ended up getting a boyfriend a few months afterwards. The thing is, now the guy who (I assume) still has a girlfriend is acting in a really weird way. Me and my boyfriend were in the library the other week and we saw him there too; he wouldn't stop staring at us for about 15 mins straight (I went to get myself a chair, because our table only had one, and his eyes were following me across the library
) and when my boyfriend and I were talking he packed his things and stomped off noisily out of the library (we were sitting next to the entrance, so I was actually a little bit scared).
I just heard from some mutual friends today that he has been saying nasty stuff about my boyfriend (whom he's never even met!) like that he "looks geeky" and I'm "clearly settling for what she can get right now." It's so weird, I haven't been mean to him after he turned me down - I have not even spoken to him and I certainly haven't spread any rumours because I am not a childish person. I was also out last night with the rest of the girls and saw him at a club with his mates, and again he would not stop staring at me even when I frowned at him and shook my head. He wouldn't even dance with his mates, just stared at me blankly! It was quite off putting.
How the hell is my boyfriend any of his business and why is he acting like this? He's the one who turned me down anyway, and even if we were both single he wouldn't "own" me as there is nothing going on between us.
