This whole talk happened long ago like more than a month after we met when he had just started talking to that other girl who had given him his number. Before this, he had been showing a lot of interest in me but I just didn’t reciprocate because I was too shy.
He did discuss me with the mutual friend a few times like ask about me, personal things etc. and it was him who made the first move and told her that he wants to be friends with me like less than 2 weeks after we met.
I agree that he could’ve used her to get closer to me and I often wondered why he didn’t do that.
His behaviour is so strange that a couple of times he’s seen me hanging out with her and my best friend and when she talks to him at that time, he prefers to keep a distance and talk and doesn’t come and join us just because of me. He doesn’t even greet my best friend when he’s with me even though they otherwise greet each other every other day.
