<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

I met this guy at this party, sober in the beginning of the college year. He seemed perfect. We talked the whole night. He seemed so sweet and caring. It was weird because I felt so connected to him and that's always rare for me. I didn't end up getting his number. I felt stupid for not asking.

Fate has it, I ran into him again at another party. He approaches me. We talk for a bit but we were both kinda drunk and nothing happened. He kinda ended up leaving me so I thought maybe I read things wrong and he isn't interested. So I decided to give up.

This third run in got weird. I saw him in the beginning when we were sober, he didn't say hi. I thought, no big deal, he's not interested. All good.

Then as the party progressed as we both got drunker, he comes up to me and starts talking to me again. It seemed like he was trying to play it cool. I just flat out told him that I actually thought there was something there but I don't like being lead on.

He claims I had his number the whole time. Which I didn't. So he takes my phone and adds himself and sends himself a text to seem like I had his number. He actually gave me his real number. Then he takes my phone and adds himself on Facebook.

I tell him again, I don't like being lead on. He says it's not like that and runs off again.

I talk to some of his friends about it but apparently he's a bit of a flirt but he's never been that persistent with a girl. They think he likes me but doesn't know what to actually do so he does weird things like this.

Next morning. He doesn't accept the friend request he sent from my phone. Never texts me. What happened?

Was he playing me? How can I avoid getting played like this again? Do guys still get this nervous?
<bot>: Got lead on in a weird way. I feel like this guy wasn't even being a "player" but more of an asshole. I don't get it. Do guys actually do this?
