A boy I spend a lot of time with quite frequently tells me about girls who tell his friends that they are infatuated with him. This has come up quite a few times and it just seems a bit weird to have said it quite so many times, are there any reasons in particular anyone can think of as to why you would say this?

Well you see this is the thing, people think that there is something going on between us and there are signs that there may be but they could just as equally be just friendly I suppose. He doesn't appear to be interested in any of these girls anyway, saying he doesn't have time etc but at the same time spends a hell of a lot of time with me and we get on really well.

When he does say about them I just say something in a jokey way about why do so many girls become infatuated with him/what a popular man he is. I don't really know what else to say because although I do fancy him I'm not going to tell him and just be one of this list of girls who are infatuated.

Maybe he likes you and wants to gauge your reaction. Maybe you're not single, and he wants to see what's going on in your head.
Maybe, on the other hand, he's trying to put the brakes on something he thinks might be happening. It's likely if everyone thinks something is going on that he has noticed something too.
Do you like him? -

Sounds like he likes you - maybe he's trying to make you jealous/suss out whether you like him too by seeing your reaction to all these girls fancying him.

If he is trying to put a brake then he's not doing a very good job because the rest of his behaviour would suggest that's he's feeding the fire as much as I am (I do like him). -

Bearing in mind that I do like him but do not want to look another infatuated girl and say we work on the assumption that's he is trying to gauge what should I be saying if he mentions it again?

Perhaps he's actually a bit insecure, so he needs to reaffirm himself in front of others...
or maybe he just likes to boast, like any normal person : ) -

If it's true, he might be saying it to see how you would react. He may like you.
If it's not true, the above may still hold but he's also a deeply insecure and shameless person. People who brag about their so-called 'popularity' annoys me. -

To be honest insecure in stuff like this doesn't sound totally unfeasible at all. I don't really know how to deal with insecurity although I have tried to bolster him up a bit even just as friend. I just can't be 100% and so that's holding me back. I want to think of a way let him I know like him without playing the infatuated girl card/come straight out with it so that I can finally find out what it is he is thinking.
