I think that only 2 of them he has known for some time, but one of them I think he's only known for about a month or just over that length of time. The other two I still haven't met, if they exist at all.
What I don't understand about it is that the two guys who are out and about with him the most seem really attached to him in a kind of protective way, either because they are both a bit emotionally self-destructive (I can't see any other way these things will eventually end up like) or because they genuinely haven't got much experience with other guys.
I must admit that there is something about him that I find more creepy than anything, not because he is a creep as such, but because it does come across like he is projecting his insecurity in a controlling way on some guys who are obviously insecure themselves. Last week there was another bloke in the frame, but by that time every mutual aquaintaince who we have in common is starting to see the whole thing like the sorry spectacle that it sounds and looks like.
