Why is this guy playing with me like this? is this some sort of a sick game?

So there's this guy that I like. He'd stare all at me all the time. I gave him my number and he'd ring me and text me. But whenever we made plans to go on a date he'd stand up.

So I gave up on him. But he kept calling and texting me asking me out again. I kept saying no again. But then I started saying yeah but he stood me up again.

He tried texting me but I ignored him. He rang me on the weekend asking to come see me.. He rang me this morning I told him to ring me in the afternoon cos I went to the gym in the morning. He did. As I was getting ready he texted me asking if I really wanted to see him I said yes, it'd be nice to see him again. He said he feels like he's forcing me into seeing him and cos he hasn't heard from me in a while.

I texted him this: I haven't called you cause you never really answer my calls or ring me.. And when we make plans for going out it never happens.. You always end up standing me up, you don't ring to cancel you just never show or text or call me.. And that kinda hurt makes me look like an idiot. And I guess I wanted to forget you cause is obvious your not into me..x

He texted back saying he's busy with his 2jobs not enough sleep.

Why is he playing with me like this? What should I do? Oh and he didn't show up again today.

CindyCares agony aunt People can only play games with you if you play along. Stop responding to him ! Ignore him !

It sounds to me that he is already involved with another woman, or other women,- or maybe just with his busy life, could be- he's clearly not that into you but has pegged you as a good back option, or just-in-case girl. You know, the one you could always hook up with if you wanted to. Everybody loves to have an option.

To keep your option , though, you have to pop up every now and then, feign an interest to keep her interest alive.

So... don't waste any more words in heartfelt explanations, he stood you up 3 times ! that's not acceptable even if he had FOUR jobs, just move on.
