Questions and Answers
I need to make my crush jealous, but how?
I need to do this over text because he left my school about 2 years ago, and we still talk, but how do I make him jealous? I have tried: I made up a character and said that he asked me out, so he got all jealous and seemed cold about it. I think it was caused by: He keeps on telling me I love you, but I don't know if he means it in a friend way, or like a crush.
Guys do not randomly say I love you unless they mean it. It seems that he likes you far more than friendship because he has maintained a phone connection with you for 2 years. Since making up someone asking you out backfired, instead, text him photos of you and your friends having fun. Use phrases like "Wish you were here" with the photos.

How do we know if he is dating someone else?
He never likes my post but he likes another friend's posts. We went out together and also he introduced me as a couple to them but I still text him, we live in the same town she just comes to visit and leave. I have tried: Should I ignore that or continue as usual but since she left we never meet again just texting. I think it was caused by: They went fishing together and he has a woman roommate bring friends over and he is taking care of them. He took one day off, but I didn't take the day off to go with because I just want trust him, after that he seems distant, not inviting me to his house like before, maybe because his woman roommate drama he mentioned.
He is not dating someone else. He introduced you has his girlfriend to other people. Right now he may be distancing himself as you have assumed to avoid further drama with the roommate. When you said you were not going fishing with them, this may have made the roommate feel that you do not want to hang out with her. Make plans to hang out together with the roommate included. Try to make an effort to get along with her because she could make or break your relationship. Especially if she and your boyfriend are close.
