I think so too. He looks like a player. At least he didn't want to drag me into it, which I guess is a sort of compliment in his case. He was already pursuing 3 girls when I met him (of course I had no idea. I thought it was just flirting). It looks like an obsession. Like he needs it for validation. It's kind of sad.
And yes, I am glad it didn't go further. A male friend of his told me "You're the one that got away".
He keeps saying he needs space but I haven't talked to him in weeks so it's kind of a paranoïa. I noticed he rewrites stories in his mind to this: "Girls are crazy about him. He's a victim. He feels guilty for treating them badly. He feels angry when they go. He feels sorry. He feels angry. He does it again."
Hollywood: watch and learn.
