Left me on read but watching my WhatsApp status regularly. What can this be?

[Shybtw]

So he is my coworker and from the day he got my number he used to message me on WhatsApp and after few messages he lefts me on read but after few hours or a day he replies back and used to flirt a little bit. But day before yesterday he messaged me and I replied and he left me on read and its been almost 2 days he has not replied. He is seeing my WhatsApp status but not messaging me. Can it be because of the last conversation? ( Basically he told me he is very sad and all and I said you should take out a solution for it, he replied will you not help me and I replied back " and how can I help you". ) This was the last message and he left me on read. What can be the meaning of this. Left me on read but seeing my WhatsApp status as soon as I put them. Because I now somehow feel towards him. So what should I do. Should I just take a step back from my feelings. Is he just ignoring me now or what?

Backstory:started with normal chats like hi, how are you etc. One day I went for a movie he saw my status and messaged that he also wanted to see that movie and I should have told him and asked with whom I went girl or a boy. daybeforeyesterday he gave sad reply, I asked what happened he said he is thinking about something and I said you should take out a solution of it. Will you not help me, he said, I replied and what can I do to help you and now I am left on read and he sees my status though.

He is just playing with you to make the tension grow a little more until he has you where he wants you to be.

You are being played with by this guy and you don't even realize it. He is delaying his replies after his text "will you not help me". Why would a person delay a reply to an answer that you gave?

The reason is because he has no real problem that requires help but with this seemingly innocent statement, he has your attention. Now, delaying a reply on your follow up text simply means that he is waiting for you to make the next move and you showing that you worry. That will confirm his assumption that you are willing to do a lot for him and this lot includes for him to get into your pants. He will give you some fake reason why he needs help and for you to fall into his trap.

Read between the lines and don't fall for such cheap tricks.

Yes, it seems (based on the limited info you provided) that he is upset that you wouldn’t “help” him. But it’s not your responsibility to help out a super-needy co-worker! I would just avoid this guy, he seems (again from the limited info we have) like he is super needy, and an emotional black-hole, sucking in the emotional help of anyone who gets too close to him. Avoid this guy like the plague, and as he IS a coworker, if he does not leave you alone, after you ask him to, and he continues to try to make you feel guilty for not “helping” him, report it to HR at work!

Without much context or backstory about the what lead to his behavior I'd say he's messing with you. Seems like some form manipulation or game to get in your head. Either way, It's cowardly and passive aggressive behavior.

Seems like it's part of a passive aggressive game, or some other form of manipulation

Oh gurl as soon as I read coworker I said stop. Stop it right now, do not get involved with a coworker unless you work different shift times or in two different departments where you don't see each other at all. He's already playing around with you and if goes any further, it's going to be awkward seeing him at work everyday. You need to leave him alone and find someone else you don't work with.

Messing with a coworker is mistake #1.

#2 is texting on garbage like Whatsapp.

[Guy13]

I would step far away until he acts normal.

He's probably found someone else better to message you is not easy to score with
