Do guys ever date another girl just to make the one they really like pay attention to them, especially when your relationship with them is on the "outs"? This is a 28 year old man I'm talking about. Or is he just more interested in her?He kept glancing at me while he was talking to her and she went to a party at his house later that night. Not exactly a date that he asked her on.

 Well I think from what you say you can say it is very likely that he could be doing this to get at you, since you mention it hurt his feelings, would also kinda explain him going for her being insecure. No matter how confident people are when their feelings are hurt we can all be very insecure obviously they are probably feeling a commen bond.
The principle is a bit like the 'bounce' one. He probably isn't even doing it to hurt you or make you jealous as such, he could simply want to feel better about himself.

I would say its possible especially as you said yourself that this wasn't exactly a date. Also the glancing would suggest that he was trying to gauge your reaction. Yes I do think men do those sort of things as do women.
Does he normally flirt with you and behave in a way that suggests he's interested? I really don't get what 'on the outs' is, sorry.
