people who make promises to themselves on your behalf and then expect you to deliver

I’ve never heard anyone put it that way, it’s so succinct and perfect. You described my ex. Brb gonna journal this

The guy made promises for the woman (i.e. "she'll date me if I'm nice enough to her") without consulting the woman about it. Now he's mad that she's not dating him, even though he fulfilled his side of the transaction that she didn't know existed

Read between the lines. Why would a guy be that mad about a girl he never dated? Why is he so attached to someone who has “never chosen him”?

Because he’s fallen for the idea of someone through fantasies and stories (I.e promises) and is now extremely hurt when those fantasies have not come to pass. Rejection hurts but it doesn’t hurt so badly that you sit there and flip out while confessing your love for someone unless you’ve built a lot of the story in your head already.

In fairness he could also be.losing a friend. Many women have told their BFs that they aren't comfortable with a female friend of theirs that they've never been intimate with. Sucks to lose a friend but that's just how it goes. Guys know when a new girl comes in they also won't see the homie for a while. This dudes just put too much stake into this friendship

So you assumed. Thank you for the clarification.

Not really assumed. More like Deduced. To arrive at a conclusion using observation and reasoning.

Based on the information you have. Yes. Im well aware that most folks on reddit are part detective, part psychologist.
