He will make it a point to make sure that people see you together and that they know that he is attracted to you in all ways. He will want others to know that he is invested in you and that he wants you to be involved in other aspects of his life.

Final Thoughts
Some people like to have this kind of attachment, but others feel uncomfortable with this. If you don’t want this kind of attachment, then you need to make sure that you are speaking up and letting this guy know that it isn’t what you want.
Always have boundaries and make sure that you are firm in your answers. Tell the person that you don’t want them to invest in you and that they need to back off some. If you like hanging out with them, just tell them that you enjoy their company but that they are crossing lines.
You can tell them that you feel uncomfortable and that you just want to be friends. Everyone has emotional attachments with someone here and there but if you don’t like it then you need to be firm in what you want. It is better to be direct than to be miserable.
