Whenever you star to have feelings for a guy, it is always a good idea to ask yourself one question: Why do I like him? This is an important question, because you should already have a couple of expectations in your head of what you are looking for in a guy; how you want to be treated, things you won't tolerate, and other things of that nature. Then, ask yourself it his guy meets your standards of what you are looking for in somebody you want to be with. Sending you texts calling you a female dog and asking why he'd ever bother texting you might be his way of flirting...but that's a really immature and foolish way of flirting.

The way this guy has been treating you has obviously been causing you stress and frustration, there comes a point where you need to put your foot down. Talk to this guy and tell him what he's been doing that confuses or upsets you. Then, ask what his feelings are. Does he like you as a friend? More than a friend? Not at all? These are all important questions to ask. If you find out that he isn't flirting, and is really just being rude, then it would be time to start moving on. Or, he might see that the way he has been texting you really upsets you and he will change. All couples have problems, the successful couples work through these problems. Of course, the two of you aren't even a couple, so it might be a good idea to take notice of these red flags and do things to address them before you get too committed to this guy. Your feelings for him will fade with them, and if he is treating you poorly you really don't deserve to be with a guy like that anyways. You deserve to be treated with respect and decency just like everybody else and especially from those who you look at in a romantic way.
