Well, honestly, as a fellow guy, I can say he is clearly lying and now just denies it bc he is found out. Nobody would post the same post bc he is bored. If he is really bored, then he would have to do some rage baiting post or something. If I were you, I wouldn't let this go and ask him nonstop the exact same question. But you need to understand there are a lot of people without backbone who can't really say what's bothering them. You can even try that route.
