Or maybe he likes his girlfriend more than he's letting on to you (or her?) Male machismo is pretty ridiculous sometimes, and I've had friends stupid enough to pretend they didn't like their girlfriends that much, just because they thought it was cool. It wasn't.
There's something to be said for the grass-is-greener phenomenon, and perhaps he only "clicks" with this girl because he can't have her (or she can't have him). Maybe "clicking" isn't enough?
It's really difficult to monday-morning quarterback someone else's relationship, as it's hard to know what goes on behind closed doors. I've had moments and people that have made me question my relationship, as I "clicked" with them. But ultimately it was fleeting.. the next times I saw them it was less-than-magical, and I realized exactly what I'd be missing.
If we all jumped at the first sign of "clicking," there'd be no long-term relationships. There are a lot of great things that come with being for someone for a while, things you can't just pick up with a new relationship.
I've always been one for making sure the risk is really worth the reward, and it certainly wasn't in my case. Maybe it's not for him, either.
