Do I still keep his friendship?

Well I told the guy I like my feelings for him , he told me he was flattered but he likes somebody else. They are trying to work on things for a year him and this. Which I sort of knew he was going to say that anyways. He said our friendship can continue to grow and it won’t be weird between us. Well I was talking to him and his friends last night and he just kept taking about me like Jane this Jane that. It’s like for not having feelings for me , he sure was talking about me a lot. Should I look into this or just ignore it and just go along with his friendship
