how to deal with a difficult man

i need some advice.

i met this guy on my course at uni, we kissed in november at 2 different parties but since then hes hardly spoken to me. we had a club social in january when we ended up kissing again after he got very jealous when i was flirting with another guy there. we slept on the same couch that night and talked for hours, when he told me he likes me but just doesnt know how to deal with it. since then, he has hardly said 2 words to me.

He knows how to wind me up and push my buttons, and it seems like he enjoys doing it to see me get frustrated with him. for example, hes going on a holiday to his holiday house with some people off our course, and he seemed to enjoy telling me this because he hasnt invited me. i tried to brush it off but he could tell i was a little hurt i wasnt invited as we are in the same circle of friends now.

any advice on what to do/how to get him out my system?!

Tell him how you feel?

He seems like a knob if he enjoys winding you up.

Sounds like he's hurting you and he knows it :mad: Nobody should make you feel like that, you need to talk to him and tell him how you feel.

I wouldn't risk getting into anything if he's giving you strange/mixed signals and is being mean to you. When you next get the chance, try to speak to him about it - don't go overboard and pledge anything major to him, be friendly but don't expose any weakness (e.g. "I really really like you") or he may take advantage of that. Perhaps say something like, "I've been having a good time with you, how come you're being a prat :P"

I have a sneaky feeling he wants one thing from you. Don't give him the satisfaction.

i have blocked him on msn and im trying to give him a bit of a taste of his own medicine! i know this sounds petty but i feel like if i can try and ignore him it will make me feel better. if i tell him how i feel, i get the impression he will use me for it and try to get what he wants and then move on. his best mate has told me that its not me, he just likes being single at the moment, but would like something in the end. I dont want to wait around for him, but i know if i find anyone else he'll go even more funny with me. i cant work him out
