Did this guy rejected me or I’m misreading things?

Hi. I’m new here. A couple of years ago, I met a guy through mutual friends. I knew from the beginning that he had a girlfriend because he didn’t hide it. One day he added me on Facebook and he started stalking me. We are long distance, by the way. He used to like/comment on my status frequently and he liked my selfies. I thought it was weird for him to talk to me and be so friendly since he had a girlfriend. In my mind, I thought he wasn’t happy in his relationship.

Even though I didn’t like him at first, I started catching feelings for him. One day I got jealous because I saw him flirting with another girl. I was turned off and distanced myself from him. We drifted apart and I started dating other guys. But I started having thoughts of “what if…” I never flirted with that guy but I was afraid I was going to regret it in the future because I still had feelings for him. So I added him on Facebook again to try to rekindle our friendship. I sent him a message saying that I appreciate his friendship and that I liked talking to him in the past. He said he was happy to hear from me but he also mentioned that he felt bad that I disappeared without an explanation. But that we could still keep in touch.

After that, I tried to show my interest by liking his posts. I never did this in the past and now he seems annoyed by this. The first time I liked something, he acted weird and stopped posting when he’s frequently active. Then after a long time of not interacting with him, I liked another one of his posts. I was the only one liking it. Well, the very next day he shared an old picture of him and his girlfriend on the Facebook newsfeed. I took it as a sign of rejection. Like he’s telling me to leave him alone. The weird thing is that he almost never posts pictures with her. And why an old photo instead of a recent one? I just felt like he did it on purpose to reject me. What do you think? And if he’s so happy with her, why was he talking to me?

Did this guy rejected me or I’m misreading things?
