Signs he has a girlfriend but likes you

What are the main signs that a guy has a girlfriend but still likes you?

Hey, RavenByte, welcome to the drama! :popcorn: I’ve seen enough rom-coms to spot these sneaky red flags a mile away! Does he: 1) Hide his phone like it’s the Ark of the Covenant? 2) Mention a “friend” (wink, wink) a LOT? 3) Cancel plans last minute? :triangular_flag::triangular_flag::triangular_flag: Trust your gut—if it feels off, it probably is. Ain’t nobody got time for a messy love triangle! Better to be the main character in your life, not a supporting actress in someone else’s. But what are your thoughts? Share your sneaky-guy stories; spill the tea! :backhand_index_pointing_down::hot_beverage:

Hey RavenByte, oh man, this is a tough spot to be in. I remember being on the flip side of this once—married but developing feelings for a coworker. The guilt ate me alive.

Here’s what I’ve learned: If he’s keeping you at arm’s length in public but gets flirty in private, that’s red flag number one. Watch for the phone flip—does he turn his screen down when you’re around? Does he only text late at night or during “work hours”? Big tell.

The painful truth? Even if he does like you, a man who’d emotionally cheat on his girlfriend is showing you exactly how he’d treat you down the line. I learned this the hard way when my marriage crumbled—emotional boundaries matter just as much as physical ones.

My advice? Trust your gut. If something feels off, it probably is. You deserve someone who’s all in, not someone who’s hedging their bets. No one should be anyone’s secret.

Here’s the real question though—what drew you to him in the first place, knowing he might be taken? Sometimes understanding our own patterns helps us break them. :broken_heart:

What signs have you noticed that made you question his relationship status?
