Context:
6 weeks ago we met, we spent every day for 1 week together and very much enjoyed each others company. He (28) came to my city, and is in the process of moving here. At the end of the week together, he had to go back to where he lives now, and before he left he told me he has no interest in pursuing other people, that he would like to only focus one person at a time.
We talked for the past month, texting a lot and a few hour long calls. This past week he suddenly pulled away and I (25) asked him, if everything is okay, if he would like to pursue seeing other people and specifically if he is using dating apps — he said “No I don’t even have time to relax I don’t have time to go out”.
My friend who is in his area matched with him on a dating app yesterday and he asked her out for drinks. She sent me the screenshots.
I am not the one who wanted to be exclusive, that was him, so it leaves me confused why he would do this. I provided such easy opportunities to be honest, and he chose to lie instead.
At best, he is deceptive and a liar.
I told him I thought we had a spark, that I felt foolish and that I think he love bombed me without meaning to. He said “ what , why , where is this coming from” and I didn’t answer because I have nothing to say. This morning he messages me hello. I was quite infatuated with him until I saw he is a liar. Should I respond at all? If yes, what to say? I am not one to ghost people I care about, but he clearly doesn’t care about me so maybe it’s the best option.
TLDR;
Guy that asked Me to be exclusive still active on dating apps after saying he is not. Do I ghost or say something?
