What should I make of this?

[ZeldaFreak701]

Alright, so if you have ever read my previous posts in the past, I've told you about my ex boyfriend that used to buy me things. And if not, I had an ex boyfriend that used to buy me lots of things. Not terribly expensive stuff, but he wouldn't take no for an answer either. He even bought me a Wii a week after we broke up, as a birthday present.

Anyway, he admitted to me that he wanted to be my boyfriend again. I said I would consider it and such and wait for the right time to start dating again. So one day my best friend and I are going to his place to hang out. He's texting my best friend, asking her "Should I ask her out again?" and she asked me and I said "No." So that's what she tells him.

We hang at his place for a while then we leave. 2 hours after we do, he tells my best friend that he liked her. He takes her out to dinner and such and spoils her in the same way he did me. But here's the kicker, he bought her a 60 gig Backwards compatible playstaytion 3, a good $430. And to add insult to injury, he bought it for her on HIS birthday which was yesterday.

Now I'm not jealous about the playstation because I had no desire for one nor any of the gifts I had been given. I guess the real question I'm trying to ask here is, what should I make of this guy? Do you think he's playing both of my friends?

in all honesty i would blame this all on you. in your first paragraph, in so many words you call yourself a goldigger and from that it seems the only reason you were attracted to this guy was not b/c of his looks, attitude, character, personality, but only b/c of his wallet. and he obviously thought that buying you all this stuff would in turn buy your attraction to him. if you want to tell your friends and the rest of the internet that YOU'RE the good girl in this situation you should have broke this habit in the beginning.

the only reason why he's is going out with your friend now is b/c he thinks that if you see him buying all this stuff for your friend is that he you might be miss that (material objects) and want to get back with him( i.e. wallet)

So if you do want to call yourself the good girl in this situation, tell him what he is doing is wrong and that buying things for girls will never get him a true girlfriend/relationship that's mutually good for both parties. once he realizes this, if you do get back together y'alls relationship will be better than ever b/c it's based on mutual acttraction for each other instead of his wallet, or you'll break up the next day b/c the relationship isn't you and his wallet.
