Is he trying to make me jealous or looking for an ego boost?

[Loobyloo41]

There's a guy that I quite like but have always stepped back as a) didn't want to make an idiot of myself, b) not sure if he likes me or is just humouring me!

 

 

Anyway, a few weeks ago I caught him looking at me whilst I was talking to this guy at an event and then on a message a few days later he mentioned this guy in a jokey kind of way, but I did wonder if he was jealous.

 

 

Then over the weekend he was out with his mates and I was out in the same area, it was an end of season night out so I was trying to get them all out in the same town (it didn't happen).

 

 

He made some comment about me only getting jealous because of the way this waitress flirted with him and I replied and said I wasn't the jealous type, his reply was "there is always a first time".

 

 

Is he just looking for an ego boost or do you think he is trying to gauge my reaction to see if I do actually like him?

 

 

Thanks

Neither. He was being flippant.

He is full of himself.

 

Pursue this at your own peril.

Why do you even bother.................

He might know you like him and he's joking with you. I do not see how he can be interested.
