2 faced mate

Basically I knew this guy for a while at a hobby of mine, and he was mates with another guy at the same hobby.

Now when we saw each other (like twice a week) we had fun and really got along.

So I thort ye never can have too many mates, so when I didnt go out with my school mates I went out drinking with these. Im starting to see how he is, and even his mate from the hobby says he can be very 2 faced.

Tonight he invited a girl who was his mate and she was nice, hes isnt that good with girls but me and her hit it off but I refused to do anything as he loooked angry, even tho we ended up on the sofa just chattin at the pub, he became a mega ****** He was going go to the bar for me, go check on that guy, and then when I would go he would go to the girl, "Dont get involved with him hes a cheater/liar/****" Which I seriously am not, NEVER cheated.

She told me as I offered a lift home and asked and I said no and his mate in my car aswell said ye he heard it and it was out of line. I told her Id rather be mates but I do think shes really sweet.

So I go home and she calls me crying saying my mate callled her shouting and screaming about how shes a slag and she told him again and again how we are just mates now.

He then has the nerve to txt me and say "Alright mate, good night out, you are well cool to hang out with"

Havent replied but this isnt the first time, he does it too everyone, will be nice and as soon as they go, call them a **** too me, but is nice to the face/

How do I deal with this kinda person, as hes really nice to everyone in person.

He sounds like a nutcase mate. I'd steer clear.

I'm sorry, I had a bit of trouble understanding your post, but from the sounds of it, I think he either really likes this girl and is the jealous type, or perhaps something even happened between the two of them, so now he thinks she's 'his girl'.
He might even think you're being the two-faced one by trying to take 'his girl'.

He does sound kind of like a nut though.

No thats the problem they just met aswell but i was saying they were mates as they are really

However no he doesnt flirt and I was being nice, we sat and talked about stuff we had in common, but its not just that he does it all the time to everyone

I cant stear clear as I have mates that are his mates, just wondered if any1 knows how to deal with em

The thing with two faced people is to treat them like everyone else. If they are being nice, go with it, if they become a b******, batter em. Just don't trust a word he says, but if you distance yourself from him as much as poss ie. don't initiate a convorsation/invite him out etc.
Damn nutters.

I too have met alot of 2faced people but at uni. I have no idea how to deal with em but had alot of experience with them.

What not to do is get pissed off and show it... these 2faced people are quite wise and they'll make you look like the one in the wrong. Like someone here said, be nice to them but if they be horrible to you directly then sort it, it's kinda hard to do it when they do it behind your back but if you distance yourself from them then you'll get minimal crap from them.

I had 2faced people make me look like a right prick at uni, a good group of 2faced people hate me for getting pissed off when i got slagged off behind my back, naively i went to batter the guy and ended up looking bad!

Just send him a text back: Nice going out with you 2 you piece of $hit.

Then when he replies/talks to you about it, just tell him that he's a selfish prick and needs to grow up.

Just ignore it and don't socialise with him unless you have to, and if you're forced to then be pleasant.

If he crosses a line again then I would suggest raising the issue with him.
