We flirt, sent pictures and just overall I feel had fun with it, the thing is the vibe isn't the same, and I believe instead of him saying that straight up he's playing it out cause maybe he doesn't want to hurt my feelings? I actually never heard of that before but, I know times are different... Do men still flirt with women even tho you have no interest in her at all? It leaves me so confused. I want someone to explain to me, from all aspects, like a shy guy friendly flirty guy, is this like a pitty thing cause I believe he knows I've liked him secretly for a long time but, it's mind boggling we've flirted I believe half our friendship but nothing really came from it due to what I believe to be bad timing, or at least that's what I convinced myself it was.
I truly don't know. He really hasn't given off negative vibes but I feel he's not pursing the situation like I know he could, if the interest was high.
The night we "drunk " text I'm thinking for him maybe it was a bit much and he realizes that and maybe wanna slow things down, it hurts cause I thought Whewww.. Finally I could get my feelings off my chest and move on with my life, but now I'm having second thoughts.. i would love to tell him how I've been feeling but honestly only if the feeling was mutual, I'd hate to put myself out there.

I'm wondering if I should just not say anything to him, I mean since that night I've been the only one trying to keep it going like I said the convo isn't negative.. anyone would think it's hope but, there's just no effort on his end I feel unless I do the contacting.. I just don't know why it has to be that way? Anyhoot truth is I smell rejection, and I'm thinking I should just call things off or other words stop pursuing, being flirty and remain friendly instead?

So my question is guys do you flirt, with women you have no intention on pursuing.. How does it work if your only sexually attracted to her? Do u half way show interest? Are u care to not show to much interest. What's the deal? I know I'm the one with more baggage so maybe he's like let me know when you're free.. But, I still feel there should be more reciprocation. What do you think, is it best I just back off? Cause truth is nothing hasn't happened in all this it's time, I don't want this to be a pitty thing, it's not that serious.. What should I do?
