Ok so theres this guy who has suddenly begun to act REALLY weird around me..last week he told someone who was trying to get us together (cos they could sense the chemistry) that he had a girlfriend...and this week I kinda backed off cos I'd heard that. But he always seems to be flirting and trying to chat up other girls whenever I can see him, but I've heard he doesn't act that way when I'm not around. We're in the same class but this week he's been acting even weirder! He's constantly being horrible to me and insulting me for no apparent reason. At first I knew he was joking but he keeps doing it now. Then yesterday he winked at me while no one else was looking and then carried on like nothing had happened. It's like he wants a reaction but today he implied that I was chasing him in front of all of MY guy friends that he has suddenly become best friends with. It was really hurtful and I stopped talking to him for a while but then he tried making me smile later on and getting my attention. I don't get it...why is this guy acting so weird around me?? He rings me to meet up with me during uni times but then he's constantly being mean. WHY??

VictorM's advice:

Because he's a weird guy! I mean, come on, how many bizarre things does a guy have to do before you conclude that he's "not all there"? His behavior would be normal if he was 11 years old. But he's not. He's just a weird guy. They exist. Not everyone comes out of the factory in working order.

Do you ever pass by old people in the street talking to themselves? They weren't always like that. Many of them were acting weird with girls back in school.

It's not easy to rationally explain irrational behavior, so I'll just say: Keep your distance.
