This is a guy who already knows you like him, and this knowledge boosts his ego and sense of self-worth.
His ego and sense of self-worth are further boosted whenever he texts you and you respond positively.
Whenever you are laughing and reacting to the humorous texts and memes he sends you, it gives him an emotional high.
Don’t allow the fact he is already taken as a reason to think his messages are merely friendly.
The truth is that there is a reason why he keeps texting you.
He knows that the attention he gets from you is something he can easily use to keep boosting his ego and sense of self-worth without having to do any extra work for it.
He doesn’t have to take you out on dates, be there when you are emotionally distraught, do favors for you when you are in need, etc.
These are all things a boyfriend would have to do.
Keep in mind that the more you keep texting each other, the deeper your feelings for him are sure to become.
You like him and he knows it.
Whenever he texts you, there is an exhilaration you feel, as you crave getting his attention too.
Given that you don’t have a boyfriend to give you emotional support, this guy who is already taken becomes your emotional backbone.
A day won’t go by where you aren’t expecting a text message from him.
If a day goes by without receiving a text message from him, you won’t feel good.
There is an unhappiness that sets in.
Even if you are hanging out with friends and family, there will be a part of you that wonders about the likelihood you will hear from him.
While your family and friends are engaging with each other, you are continuously looking at your smartphone, hoping to see a text message from him.
Unfortunately, this emotional dependency is what happens when you continue texting a guy who is already taken.
His text messages become your lifeline.
This emotional dependence will sneak up on you.
At first, you won’t think too much of his text messages, save the curiosity as to why a guy who was already taken would text you.
His initial text messages to you would be harmless.
He is asking about your day or recommending a new song.
Eventually, they became more personal.
He is asking about what type of guys you like and whether you love to kiss.
This takes everything to a whole new level, seducing you into developing a stronger emotional investment in him.
All of a sudden, you realize how easily you ignored the fact that he was already taken.
This is where he wants you to be.
A place where you become emotionally dependent on him, relying on his text messages to get emotional fulfillment.
Sadly, a guy like this has no intention of leaving his girlfriend.
He only wants the boost to his ego and sense of self-worth that often accompanies receiving your attention.
