I can’t tell if my crush is interested?

I can’t tell if my crush is interested or not. He makes comments sometimes that seem directed at me such as “I mow my grass with my shirt off in hopes that a single mom will hit on me” in front of me too my coworker. I’ma single mom so I thought it was directed towards me. He’s an athlete so take that with a grain of salt. He’s very out spoken to everyone but gets quiet and almost shy when talking to me. But when I messaged him he uses exclamation points. When I tried flirting it didn’t seem like he was interested based on his responses via text. So I told him “I was interested but I’m not sure the feeling is mutual no harm done take care.” To which he replied “oh, yea I’m sorry! :(“ So the next time I saw him I was awkward and couldn’t look him in the eyes but I could feel him looking at me. It feels like he’s not interested but other people have told me his response could also mean “sorry I didn’t catch on soon enough” and that I basically told him that I’m not interested anymore. Anyone have any input? Should I give up?
