this man is a fucking asshole and you deal with it by losing his number.

You stop talking to him. This is an option. If you are worried about the other girl, occasionally offer her to join you somewhere, to give her an option of an out.

If he is not intentionally doing dread game, but is just a manipulative abusive asshole, then my first paragraph still applies.

I had a guy try to use dread game on me.

They 'dread' because they want to feel in control and feel desired.

The best thing to do is completely ignore them and give them as little attention as possible, because that's the opposite of what they're trying to achieve.

It drives them crazy.

You move on from him.

If you're not in a relationship with him, it's not DREAD. If you are in a relationship with him you need to decide what your boundaries are and enforce them. Try, "Hey, I'm not comfortable with you flirting with X. That is a boundary of mine and I need you to respect it." If he can't do that, you should probably break up with him.

I had dreadgame used on me from around 18-24 by a redpill, some of it is so so so covert and through micro actions. Ignore it, don’t even act like your clocking it even 1%, just completely be unphased. Try to just detach (easier said than done) from him, because the thing about ignoring dreadgame, is that they will usually escalate if they don’t get the reaction they desired

Try not to make him jealous back either, he’ll know you’re playing into his games.

sounds like you already rejected him by ignoring him. If you like him you gotta say it or your gonna end up getting cucked
