Why isn’t he happy?

Anonymous

I work with a guy who I’ve worked with for a couple of years now. I slowly developed a crush on him and he showed me signs of liking me. We were always there for each other through hard times and confided in each other.

I bumped into him while I was out drinking with my friends. I couldn’t help it, I told him how I felt about him and I asked him if he felt the same. He wouldn’t answer the question but eventually said “yes” but because we work together it would be awkward to be together.

We then had a few kisses on the lips. Not like making out but just a quick kiss. All of which I initiated. I presume that if he didn’t want a kiss he would pull away etc.

This week, he has been very different towards me. I told him on Monday that we kissed and he said “that’s not ideal, I wouldn’t have kissed you properly” and he makes out he doesn’t care that it happened. I messaged him saying that I thought I jeopardised our friendship and he said “not at all”. He has said nothings wrong but I don’t believe him.

He has been hot and cold, not flirting with me like he was before. It’s like he’s treating me entirely different to how he was before all this happened. He’s been flirting with me a little but not like before. He even snapped at me yesterday when he’s never done that before. And there’s a new girl who he keeps laughing and joking with.

Is he confused about his feelings for me? I would have thought he would be happy that we like each other.
