Now I just started dating a guy I really like. I didn't expect to want a relationship with anyone right now, but we're both on the same page about only wanting to see each other. The problem, of course, is the dorm guy.
I feel like I can't bring my new boyfriend back to my place like ever, because dorm guy has already heard I'm dating someone else and he's been giving me weird looks that are creeping me out. One of my friends says he came over to her and pumped her for information about us. Is there anything I can do to feel comfortable about spending time with my new guy at my place, without worrying about what the dorm guy will think?
So you no longer want to live dormant in your dorms? Totally understandable. After reading about your current ordeal, it'd be easier to relocate to another hall than deal with this guy. Sadly, ResLife rarely accommodates for domestic disputes so we'll tackle this situation head-on.
What we're dealing with here is an extremely delicate combination: the rationale of a woman and the emotional being of a man. To you, the relationship was implicitly defined as a fling. Instead of leading him on after his proposal, you took the high-road and put him in the friend's zone.
But a woman's rationale seemingly never bears merit to simple man-logic. You said you didn't want to date anyone seriously and now you're dating someone seriously. Thus, You're a liar.
Nevertheless, he's suffering from a bruised ego, forcing ill-sought redemption through "competition". He's using information to compare himself to your boyfriend. Or maybe he's just nosey. Eventually the obsession will eventually drive him insane until the problem goes away– especially if ignore you him.
Since he's not getting that friendship – which you two agreed on earlier – he's accepting any way to be in your life… even if it's by bullying your roommate. Fortunately, there's always a bright side - he hasn't approached you. Think of it as his informal attempt at giving you space. And by sophomore year you'll learn that nothing says "comfort" like a crazy ex keeping his distance.
