Ask the Guys

PLEASE HELP OUT!!

I recently started taking salsa classes, I met this guy at the class whom I felt very attracted to but he's 10 years older than me. NEways.

We hung out outside of class, we went dancing a few times and I took him to my sorority formal, then I found out about a small scale dance competition to which I asked him if he'd be my partner and he said that he would help me out.

At the time I asked him we were both still busy with final exams at the University so we decided that once we were both out we could start looking for a place where we could practice whenever for as long as we wanted, but knowing that he had work and that we still had about a month of school left I started calling around and I found some places and I e-mailed him asking him if he was still interested in competing, to which he replied "yeah I'm still as crazy about it as you are", then my last e-mail gave him an update of the places that had agreed to let us practice but I was supposed to see him that night in class, so when he didn't replied I didn't make much of it.

Now it's been 3 weeks and I have not heard from him and he's stopped going to class obviously he is not interested in it anymore but how do act? I mean I'm def. not happy about the fact that he let me go through all of that for almost a month and that I turned down a potential partner because he said he'd help out.

Also, one night at the studio's dance party he introduced me to a "FRIEND" but I immediately felt some tension between me and her (so I restrained from dancing with him as much I could) and later when they left, she didn't even come to say bye, she stood by the door while he said bye.

He's already paid a month's worth of classes I'm sure he'll drop by sooner or later with his "FRIEND" as his new dancing partner, but how do I act, obviously I'm not going to throw a tantrum at him, I have no reason to ask for explanations (i.e if he's no interested, that's the bottom line, I don't need explanations), but I'm really pissed and I don't want to make a fool out of myself, how should I act/approach this situation? I am really confused and my friends say that I have every right to throw a tantrum at him, but I DEF. disagree and refuse to do it. Advice???
