I know they say “if a guy will cheat on a girl he will cheat on the next girl” BUT is it the same if it’s emotional cheating

I feel like emotional cheating is more from the heart. It’s still immature and if a guy has feelings for another girl he should breakup with his current girlfriend

But there’s this guy and he’s dating a girl who is clearly head over heels for him but he pays no attention to her and constantly brushes her off to talk to me, stares at me while talking to her and turns away from her to talk to me, seems very emotional over the way I act. For example he was staring at me while talking to her and turned to me. I felt uncomfortable with him doing that so I just turned away from him and he stood there looking heartbroken and ran off in the other direction upset. They don’t really ever talk when they are at events and parties together. He seems to pay all of his attention to me and try to find ways to come talk to me by coming up to who I’m talking to. I don’t notice myself but my friends say he is always staring at me.

I act uninterested. I don’t initiate flirting with him, I don’t reciprocate, and I actually texted him bluntly asking him to stop disrespecting his gf by trying to get my attention. I don’t think his behavior is okay in any way and I feel bad for the girl (although I do think after a long time of this she should break up with him). The reason he started dating her is because there was miscommunication between him (I think I accidentally rejected him because I was so nervous or he thinks it was a rejection) and I and she was throwing herself on him wanting to date.

I’m wondering if he would treat me differently or if these are red flags. I know he’s being awful to her but she is allowing him to (not that that makes it any better). I’m wondering if this could be caused by feelings for me. He used to be head over heels and all giddy obsessed with me but nervous.

I would never want to interrupt a relationship and that’s why I was ignoring him but they broke up

I know what he’s doing is wrong but do you think he could change. I feel like his feelings for me seem strong and I don’t know if he just Is conflicted because it’s a weird situation. I almost think what happened was that he thought he would be able to move on from me over winter break but realized he couldn’t when he got back but than I showed disinterest because I knew he was in a relationship. What he did was wrong but would he learn to be better if he was with someone he really cared about

I just never want to be that dumb girl that thinks “he would treat me better than her. He just treated her bad because he doesn’t like her” and I know that’s how this comes off. It just seems different but I could be being stupid.

I kind of feel like he could have broken up with her if he realized he had feelings for me and pursued me. Or he couldn’t stayed with her and not taken action on his feelings for me. But he did not do either of those things and that’s wrong. I kind of feel like I’m an “if” like “if I go for him he will leave her” and I don’t like that.

The only thing is he had feelings for me before he was dating her and than him and I had months of no contact and that’s when they started dating and before he started trying to talk to me again

I also think he thinks I’m not interested and upset with him and that’s part of it
