He flirts with me but still has a girlfriend
I'm 16 and recently went back to work at the restaurant I worked at
the previous summer. I was surprised to find out that J., 20, had
started to work there on the same day that I came back. We worked
together last summer, I had no strong feelings for him this way or
that.
I began to flirt with him immediately,
normally I wouldn't do
this, but I am comfortable around him. He's always set me at ease. I
did childish things like throw parsley at him, he often attempted to
throw it right back.
Anyway, as time went on we'd stand close together in the doorway,
just subtle flirtatious things like that. Later, he began to
flirt back with me by putting me in headlocks and lightly pushing
me. Sometimes we'd hold hands until the next session of flirtation
began.
To make a long story short (I'm sorry! I don't want to bore you!
^^;;) I asked him if he had a girlfriend, and he said he did. I
almost slapped myself, was he ever planning on telling me if I
never asked? I guess I should have asked earlier, but maybe I didn't
want to know if he did...
So even though I really liked him I tried to not flirt with him,
I felt that things were just "weird," because it feels so natural to
have the flirtation between us. I don't want to hurt his girlfriend,
but I can't help the way I feel...
So later after I pretty much had stopped my advances, he starts
to flirt with ME again! (not vice versa!) What am I supposed to do?!
I flirt back, because I still have strong feelings for him.
One night when we worked alone we got drunk (well I had 2 beers, he
had 3) and we played around some more. We did the normal flirty
things that we usually do, stand really close together, he holds
me and runs his mouth/face over my neck/collarbone. Then our boss
shows up, we scramble outside and I ride around with him in his car
(I was afraid to drive).
He said he wanted to have sex with me, and I told him, "No
way. I'm a virgin. I'd never have sex with you unless I really
really liked you and you were my boyfriend."
I told him the last part to be nice. I'm really saving myself for
marriage. Later before he dropped me off and said that he wanted to
kiss me, but he said he shouldn't because, A. I'm "too young", and
B. he has a GF. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and told him
Goodnight. That way his GF can't be mad at him.
Another night (next week) we got drunk again at work, I had 3 wine
spritzers and he had a beer. We fooled around some more and I kissed
him, or he kissed me...I don't know. He told me I was a good kisser
(but you never know because boys lie! :-P) and that he wanted me to
kiss him again. I eventually end up kissing him more and more that
night before we went over another restaurant that my boss owns. He's
my second kiss, and I love kissing him. Of course, because I was
drunk I told him that when I was kissing my first kiss I was
thinking about him. (I was!)
He told me that he would date me if he didn't have a
girlfriend already, I told him that I would wait for him...oh, he
also said that he likes me.
He also told me that someone told his girl that I had a crush on
him. We think it was one of the waitstaff, that told one of HER
friends, that told his girl. (Yes, one big long chain of ppl ^^;;) I
asked if he would act weird around me when that certain waitress was
around, first he said probably, and then he said he would act the
same around me. I was happy when he said that, I don't want things
to change. Oh, this was also on another day of working alone
together, we were sober!
So the day after our kiss, he acts Coldly around me. He tries
to avoid me if possible, and barely talks to me. The next day is
kind of the same, but he tells me he had a huge fight with his
girlfriend (that wants to beat me up..) partly over me. He told me
that he told his girl that he didn't care about me.
So here I am. I'm confused and lost. I really like him. I
don't want to get burned, but it appears to be too late. I know that
if I dated him, I would be the only one..but how would I be for sure
when he flirts with me and has a girl?! I don't want to have these
doubts, I trust him completely.
How should I act around him? What should I do? I just want to flirt
with him, and he with me, and have everything be alright.
I can't stop thinking about him, and I just want him to come back
to me. What has his problem been lately? I just don't
understand. I can't turn to anyone else for help.
Thanks!

Dear H and C
I think you already know what to do but in case there is any
doubt, let me lay it on you.
First, this guy is a MAJOR PLAYER. He may be nice and he
may even like you, but basically, he is nothing more than a guy
who cheats on his girlfriend. Are you sure you want to be the
next girlfriend that he cheats on because, believe me, it will
happen. Second, you say you would trust him if he were you
boyfriend! Based on what???? He is extremely untrustworthy and
absolutely not ready for commitment. How do I know? Look how he
is handling and commitment he made to his girlfriend.
Ask yourself: How did she get to be his girlfriend?
He flirted with her, kissed her and told her he loved her.
Right? Then, he starts fooling around with you. Do you really
think he likes you better? Darling, you are nothing more than
another notch on his 20 year old belt!!
I'll tell you what really worries me here: because of
alcohol you went against your better judgment more than once.
Think: if you weren't drinking, would you have lead him
on like that or even let it go as far as it did? Probably not.
Unconsciously, you allowed yourself to drink so that you could
have the excuse that you were high. One of the problems with
alcohol is that judgment and inhibitions go out the window.
Because you were drinking, this went a lot farther then you
wanted to if you were thinking clearly.
Here's another problem. You were indiscreet. Now, his
girlfriend knows, has read him the riot act, and wants to "kick
your butt." On top of that, he has now withdrawn from you
emotionally. Doesn't that tell you where his heart( if he has
one) is? Do you really need all this drama and anxiety?
Please show some self-respect and get back in control,
even if you "really like him." Absolutely ignore him. If he says
hello, you can give him a very small recognition that you see
him and nothing more. You need to just "walk on by." Do not
flirt, do not drink, do not involve yourself with this immature
young man. Even if you are aching inside, you need to show some
pride and self-control. Believe me, you will heal, but the way
to start doing that is to withdraw, perhaps even find another
job.
The last thing you need is an angry girlfriend coming after
you and a boy who acts like a yo yo. These kind of triangles
seldom work out in our favor and leave the third party feeling
empty and alone.
The lesson this young man needs to learn is that he can't
cheat on his girlfriend with no consequences. Don't be
victimized by his inability to be faithful. Look right through
him. As far as you're concerned, he has simply ceased to exist.
I know it will be hard but the reward in terms of self-esteem
and peace will be well worth it.
Thank you for your letter and please keep me posted.
