I think you are right. This guy needs some advice. My best guess is that he thought he was flirting with me. It's called negging.

Just threw up in my mouth a little.



Ha! Some of that page is pretty stupid, but in general it sounds like it's kind of put-down teasing (done with both sexes, actually). Only works as flirting if there's NO WAY it could actually be true, and both people know it. Almost always has to be someone who knows you well enough to tease in a way that they recognize.

Yeah, maybe someday he'll meet someone who cares enough to set him straight.
