What's the right way to deal with this? Just withdraw? Confront them on it? Pretend you don't give a crap because you're just so much better than the other person and they could never measure up to you
? My BPDex did it right from the get go... . but now that I think about it, all of my boyfriends have done it to me at some point or another, as have other guys I've dated. Actually my first boyfriend kept me interested wayyy longer than he ever should have by always having someone else who was interested in him on the side and playing it up. Since being with him, I don't react in the same way, in fact I play it cool, but now I'm starting to think What the heck this is unpleasant and I deserve better. But I'm also starting to think maybe it's something about me... . since pretty much EVERY guy I have dated or been with has done it! Is this something that everyone does... . or everyone does with me?
