Hi. So I've been on and off talking with this guy Matt for about a year now. We were on towards the end of school and beginning of summer. Off for summer. And then back on for the beginning of school. He would text me more than he ever had. Ask me to hang out more than he ever had (even though it never really worked out that we could) and he asked me to wear his jersey to his game. He also hugged me whenever he saw me and confided in me about stuff.
Well. There this girl. I used to go to camp with her when I was like eight and she moved here this year. She's the grade below me, a sophomore. I'm a junior and Matt's a senior by the way. And at one of the football games I was cheering at she was talking to Matt in the stands. Apparently one of Matt's friends wanted to set them up. She got a ride with Matt and one of Matt's guy friends to a restaraunt where all us students go after a football game and when I met him there he took me to their table. It felt awkward so I left, and he wasnt very happy about that. At practice later that week (Im on varsity cheer so thats why I was cheering at that football game and the new girl is on JV, but on the squad) the new girl was talking about this guy she liked. Guess who it was. Matt. Apparently they went out to lunch that day. That pissed me off. Matt told me at the beginning of school that he couldnt go out to eat during his soccer season. I didn't talk to him about it and later that day at school he came up to me and was like guess who I went to lunch with (cause he knew I was already kind of jealous of her). and yeah another girl went with them but still. He texted me that night and asked if I was mad. He basically made me admit I was jealous but then told me he didn't like her at all. Well since then it's just been weird. I feel like everything I say is wrong and that he's losing interest. And I don't know what to do. He say's he doesnt like her, and we aren't dating, and I have no claim to him. But still! What should I do? This is a very awkward situtaion because she doesn't know that I like him... and ughhh. Help?
Additional info, added Sunday September 18 2011, 8:21 pm: "He says he doesnt like her, and we aren't dating, and I have no claim to him." What I meant was, he said he doesnt like her. He didn't say that we aren't dating and I have no claim to him. I say that. Just clarifying.. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?

It sounds like to me that he's flirting with you and this other girl and keeping you both interested in him. In case one of the flings doesn't work out he's got back up. Some guys are jerks like that. I would talk to Matt if I were you and tell him how you feel. Do you want to be with him? Do you want to be in a relationship with him?
I'm not sure if you would with the way he's acting now. Matt is being shady and sneaky by talking to this other girl and thinking that he can get away with it. I would tell him how you feel and if he continues this behavior ignore him. Be with a guy who doesn't play games be with someone who is straight forward and cares about you. If he cared about you he wouldn't treat you like this. Stand up for yourself! [ AdviceMistress's advice column | Ask AdviceMistress A Question ]
Xui answered Monday September 19 2011, 5:19 pm: Matt is playing mind games, High school guys generally bounce around and rarely ever stay focused on one girl. From what you posted, Sounds like Matt just had a fling and once the new girl came around it became all about her. Not all guys are going to openly admit that they have feelings for someone else, Sometimes guys like to have a rebound and seem interested in someone else in case it doesn't work out. If Matt liked you, All eyes would be on you and you would be his main priority. Lets face it, High School is a fantasy world and dating is generally just a temporary thing. If you want a guy that wants to be with you and only you then find him but on the other hand if Matt texted you and asked you if you were mad then Matt is an idiot. Why ask a question when you would receive an obvious answer? Sort of tells you right there he is playing mind games......It sucks it really does but sometimes that is the way the games goes.
