this guy's really, really liked me for a long time. over a year. he's a pansy, so he's been resorting to some pretty immature moves to get a reaction from me.
he invited me to a party hosted by his family. initially i had told him i wasn't sure i could come, since i had another engagement that day. he seemed disappointed. i later told him i could come. i didn't reply right away to the rsvp evite (figured a verbal commitment was ok so long as i bought tickets before the event). i went on vacation and didn't get around to rsvping. that made him antsy. he kept sending lame emails giving work as an excuse ("urgent" matter he says. but realyl wasn't urgent at all. he just wanted to talk/get me to confirm 100% i'd be there). besides, i was on vacay!
come back from my trip, and again he tries to remind me about the party. since i had told him i was going to go, i figured i could just rsvp later. day before the party i rsvp. next morning, super early, he messages me about details and directions. all good to go.
boom. i go to the party. he brought this girl and introduces us. he doesn't introduce her as his girlfriend, but that they're "dating." i tell him, "nice!"
bluntly put, she was NOT his type at all. very plain, unimpressive, and she also seemed very uncomfortable being there. they weren't even acting like a couple, and he was too watchful of me to focus on other things. oh another thing. some married couple friends with his fam chatted me up. the wife bluntly told me i should date him. i laughed, said he's dating someone else. she blows it off, and tells me that doesn't matter ("it's just dating. nothing serious.") and repeatedly told me i should date him.
he's very into me but i havent been completely encouraging, mainly because i still want to take my time and believe that if he really wants me, at the end he'll find a way to make me his. he's been frustrated several times in the past because i haven't been responsive enough and expressed the frustration in some not so cool ways.
i don't want to fall into his jealousy trap. it'll only bring me down. do i ignore, or up the ante of my feminine wiles to make him even more wanting and actually muster up the courage to be upfront with me?
