Did I lead this man on or is he just a old fool?

I started at new company a couple months ago and I befriended this man in accounts. He was kinda shy and everyone else at work thought he was a little strange but felt sorry for him because his mother who lived with died and that's all the family he had.

I just thought he was really cool. I'm abit of a old soul and love music from the 60s,70s and 80s and I saw he had a lot of good CDs from bands I also liked. We got talking about it and we started talking more and more and become really good friends.

he's actually very good looking for a older man and all the girls at work were asking if we were hooking up together I shut it down as they said it. He's old enough to be my dad.

Myself and everyone else noticed a big difference in him after I became his friend. He seemed so much happy and chatty with people. Everyone saw it as a good thing and I was happy I could be that kind of friend to him.

He told me he was going to a 80s night down the pub with his stister and asked if I'd like to come along. I was super excited as none of my younger friend ever want to do that kind of stuff with me so I instantly said yes that id love to go.

We ended dancing loads that night it was so fun. He dropped me off home and I was a little drunk I gave him a little kiss on the cheek to say thank you for a great night.

After that he started getting jealous and clingy at work when I was talking to other people and not focusing all my attention on him.

He saw me out with my boyfriend one night and we invited him for a drink. He didn't say anything to my boyfriend and he was kinda rude to him. Later that night he drunk called me confessing his love for me and admitted that he made a fake Facebook account up pretending to be someone I met at a party. He accused me of leading him on.

I felt really sick inside, I don't know how to feel. I feel like a bad person but also extremely scared.

I regret kissing him on the cheek that night. It meant nothing to me. I've cried so much about this and have been working from home so I don't see him
