He's hitting on all of the girls he can and he's trying to do it behind your's and everyone else's back. You could see it if you wanted to. I know how you feel though. You really like him and you are hoping that what you are truly seeing is not true. Well, it is true. What do your instincts tell you? I believe you really know what's going on, but you are ignoring your wisdom. You see, I believe we all have a wisdom inside of us that tells us what is best for us. We have the great gift of choice. We can choose to do things that are very good for us or we can choose things that are very bad. Sometimes the things that are bad for us appear like something that we want more than anything in the world. Then, when we get it we find out that it wasn't what we let ourselves believe. We delude ourselves with conversations in our heads and rationalize decisions that aren't in our best interest. We override our wisdom. Everyone does it so, you are not alone in this. What I suggest you do is move on. Listen to your wisdom. Don't get involved with Eric right now while he is in the minipulative state of being. He may grow out of it or tire of it at some point, he may not. If you give into his tactics you are only encouraging him to continue this behavior because you are rewarding him. Enjoy your life. Move onto someone else who is not playing this type of game. If you get into a relationship with him this is the type of relationship you will have with him. You won't know where he is at times. He will have stories that you won't believe but can't call him on because you can't prove anything. He will have other girls he will be seeing. This will be no fun for you no matter how cute he is. Find someone else that you can have fun with and that will be your friend. Eric can't be a friend. He doesn't know how to at this point. There are plenty of cute guys out there who will treat you the way you deserve. I wish I could tell you go for it, but that wouldn't be "being good to you". Take care and ask me questions anytime you want.

I'm pretty sure I could read a god damned calculus book and it would make more sense to me. Please learn how to spell and form sentences if you want advice.
