Well I'm not really sure but I go to school and see this a lot from someone. It means that he's a player, he may like but also as you said he likes attention. He can't stand being looked at or having attention from one person no, he needs a lot of people but also it could mean that he isn't the type that will have a one relationship. He might have more. He is just that way then. You have to talk to him and tell him that you like attention too. Ignore his bad behavior, I know it bad sound silly, but if you keep listening to him he is going to keep up his behavior.
It means that he wants more attention, or you don't love him, or he wants you to have sex with him.
The most likely answer is that he wants to be with you or that he is jealous that you give your boyfriend more attention thab you give him.
No hes probably just after attention, Wants you to pay him that little bit more attention and wants the Sympathy vote.
Think of what he likes to do in his spare time and things that he enjoys. When you're together, pay attention to things he mentions he wants, or special events he wants to do.
He wants it. He loves it.
if he is always inching away from you. If he doesnt pay much attention to you, or doesnt talk to you alot.
A person who seeks attention all the time can be referred to as an attention-seeker or attention-seeking individual.
She'll pay less attention to her current boyfriend. She'll look at you sometimes and that's when you'll feel that she wants to be your boyfriend. This is just how some girls act. It's not certain that all girls act like this.
Try and calm him down. Let him know that there are other things begging for your attention.
when he's all awkward when you act all mushy
He enjoys the attention of other girls, and is mad because you ask for him to devote his attention to you. He is in the wrong, and if he wants to stay your boyfriend then he should learn to be more loyal to you.
You can't and shouldn't try. People are who they are. If he wants to be one he will be, if not he won't. If you feel you need him to be one then tell him that he isn't paying you enough attention.
