Feeling like a fool

I just don’t understand men sometimes. I had a crush on a coworker for a while, I thought the feeling was mutual because it just seemed like he liked me. At first I thought he was just shy, at least too shy and awkward to ask me out. But as time went by things got a little awkward between us because you know now I really didn’t know if he liked me or if he was playing me or if he just wanted to be friends. The thing is, it’s not like he politely said he was going out with someone around me so I would know that you know there was nothing between us.

He enjoys teasing me and he would always tell me about something that was going on with him. So, you know, I came to the conclusion we’re friends, especially after I heard he had been hooking up with someone. The thing is, this past Friday he seemed jealous of me for training a new employee. He was already mad that I was training someone else a couple of weeks, he was so upset that he even said something out loud in front of one of my coworkers. Which is something he would never have done before. The thing is, him being jealous is something I’ve seen before and it leads to no where. It’s not like we’re friends where I could understand the jealousy. But this time it got to me, I finally asked him what his deal was. He said nothing and basically stayed mad the entire day, proceeding into the next one.

Now, honestly, I just feel like he’s leading me on. He doesn’t txt me and he always seems coy if someone or even if I ask if he’s dating someone or seeing someone. That was one of my big reasons for having a step back with him. Like I said, it’s what he was doing in the beginning. Jealous, he would make comments, he still but he doesn’t do anything and I’m tired. I feel a bit like a fool for having put my emotions on display for so long and basically feeling like I was being played this entire time.
