Why does he behave this way towards me?

I wouldn’t waste my time if I were you, if he behaves that way.

Why are you connected to him for an hour or two with nothing going on? What are you doing? Why don’t you go do something else?

He is running short of new material. Consider giving him some time apart for a while to get some fresh stchik.

Interesting dynamic; I’ve never encountered that before. He’s literally wasting your time. I wouldn’t put up with it for very long, if it were me.

And welcome to Fluther!

This is a weird relationship, and it is taking your focus and attention off other more normal ones.

Next time very politely tell him you have nothing in common or worth talking about. Say you are busy and find something else to do.

I agree with @ZEPHYRA. Just be calm, pleasant, and tell him it is not what you want to do with your time.

So, this is a guy that you are personal, real-time friends with treating you this way?

@ibstubro Very relevant question.

@Blasiangirl500 is that how you want to spend your time? Sounds like a huge waste of time to me but perhaps you do not mind sitting around for a couple of hours talking to the wall. My question is genuine, is that how you want to spend your time?

As to why he does it to you? Apparently because you’ll put up with it.
