Am I being manipulated?

Anonymous
there's this guy I've been friends with for several years. We ended up having a class together in college and it turned into something more when we started flirting. Neither of really thought the other would be interested, but once we started getting closer he started coming on pretty strong going as far as to describe his perfect girl (as me) and fishing to see if he met my dating standards. Once we finished school, I didn’t hear from him much, except through our occasional snapchat streak interactions.

He’d make ugly comments complaining about me spending time with other guys (which he would also voice to our mutual friends), comparing himself to the other men in my life, and even asked to hangout AFTER he saw me hanging with an old situation ship. Other than that, he never asks to hang out, typically flakes because “hes busy”, only really talks about himself, and has openly been seeing other girls. He’s expressed to everyone he is not looking to commit right now (due to recently developed attachment issues) yet has an absolute hissy fit whenever I start exploring my other options. Am i being played?
