“Loyalty Issues”…

0

So there’s this guy… He is really sweet to me and really nice to me and he flirts with me and tells me he loves me and I say it back and I mean it and stuff, but he used to date my friend and she told me he has “loyalty issues” meaning he flirts with other girls while dating someone… She’s right, I suppose, because right now he’s dating a girl and he’s flirting with me and maybe even other girls at the same time… Idk, maybe if we go out I’ll be a different story and he won’t flirt with anyone else, but my friend (who dated him) said that she thought the same thing and he still did it… I’m just coming off a really bad breakup and I don’t want this to be a rebound or anything but I really like him and I do want to eventually go out with him but I’m not sure if I could deal with it if I found out he was cheating on me :’( Please help… I don’t know what I should do or how I could even broach the subject with him. My friend told me I should wait at least a month to make sure this isn’t just a rebound relationship, and I think that’s a good idea, but idk what to do about the “loyalty issues”.

I'm going to tell you what you do. Stop talking to this guy. One, it takes time to heal from a relationship, especially if the breakup was bad (which 99.9% of the time, they are). You need time to completely get over the relationship. Right now you are probably just wanting to feel loved again so whoever is showing you attention is like "heyyyy I like the way this feels". You will eventually start to really hate it because it's not your other relationship. Two, he is a cheater. You cannot date someone then flirt around with whoever you want. Have you heard the saying "boys will be boys"? Yeah, it's trash. A good person will date one person and stick by that person. Stepping outside of the dating relationship ring is a no no. Don't fall pray to this because he really is taking advantage of you.You are a gorgeous girl who is smart enough to realize that this guy is kind of a butt dart. Give yourself time to get over your last breakup and be happy standing on your own two feet...and stop talking to this guy. If you do, don't let it get past flirting. Period. He just wants to drive into your lane if you get what I'm puttin' down.

I agree with your friend to wait a while and think about it. however, it sounds to me like he cant be trusted. whats the point of putting your heart on the line when the odds are that he's just gonna flirt with other girls which could ultimately turn into cheating. Since your such a pretty girl, Im sure there are other guys who you can date who would treat you a lot better. I hope this helped. Id like to hear what you decide to do. :)

I think you should listen to your friend if you truly trust her. You do not need a bad relationship while you feel vulnerable. Just take a deep breath and a step back. Heck, in a few weeks you might not even like the guy anymore. Never say to yourself that he'll change for me. All of us would like to think that they would but the cold hard truth is that you don't have control over them, only they do. So do listen to your friend, she seems to have your best interests at heart. Good luck, you'll find the right person!

It's best to just not even get involved with him. Don't put yourself in the situation where you could possibly be even more emotionally connected to him than you already are. I've thought guys would change for me in the past too, and it took me several years before finding out that it was false. Sure, there is potential that he could change, but from what I've read, I have severe doubt.

I think I'll just try to keep it in the friendzone... This was good advice (thank you!) and I agree. I'm not saying I won't flirt, a girls gotta get some practice when she can right? :3 But maybe I shouldn't let it become anything more. You're right. He's a cheater. Cheaters never change :P Thank you guys! This really helped. All of you :) <3 <3

I think you should still give him a try.
Outrageous right? But no, you need to figure out for yourself.
You cannot go by what your friend said or off negative aspects.
The reason I say try to get to know him is because you need to learn to
how to establish who is wrong for you and who is right. I mean as far as most
us know this guy is a jerk. But, maybe in the end he wont be a romantic
but just a friend. So summary. You should get to know him more. Give it
time. Also, if he is dating another girl you may have to be careful of that.
That can cause some serious drama too. Good luck!

There is a difference between "flirting" and being dishonest and disrespectful to the person you are in a relationship with. If he is telling you he loves you while he is with someone else that is way beyond the lines of "flirting". Some flirting while you are in a relationship can just be healthy and innocent, but what he is doing is wrong.
