I actually have this doubt (along with my best friend) that he may still be in the relationship that he was in last year or hasn’t broken up with her and is still involved with her. My best friend found out it odd that while we were all laughing and joking around, his friend (out of the blue) let me know that he has broken up with his girlfriend. But then our mutual friend commented on that later and said that she doesn’t know if that is true or not and she doesn’t know what’s his relationship status right now. He may or may not have broken up with her.
I think he could be hiding his girlfriend and letting everyone think that he’s single so that he can enjoy the attention from other girls and cheat around. That could possibly explain why he initially told our mutual friend that he just wants to be friends. That may also explain his complicated emotions and lack of motivation.
The only loophole here is that since our mutual friend is his classmate and often hangs out with him and his friends, she would’ve found out by now that he’s hiding his girlfriend, right? Someone would’ve let it slip by now, isn’t it?
Well either way I’m not going to make a move on him.
