His actions and words confuse me. He says he likes me but doesn't want to hurt me. Should I confront him?

Lets call him C. C and I met a few years ago at work. He became my best friend, there were time we flirted but neither acted upon it. We met each others parents and siblings, walked home together, and even talked about relationships. Over time I started to have feeling for him and decided to confess to C explaining I knew his ex girlfriend had hurt him and a relationship was probably not what he needed now but regardless I would like to stay friends. I was ghosted for three months before he apologized for leaving me and being a coward. Found out he had a girlfriend he never told me about (they broke up two months ago). Since then we barely talk. One time I fell down some stairs and got a cast he texted me asking if I was okay. I changed workplaces for a while, C found out and asked if I would still be around. C came last week to my workplace and before leaving he made a move, touching my hair and saying it was soft which made my heart race. He confessed to a mutual friend/ coworker he liked me (after saying maybe he did, maybe he didn't just months ago) and cared for me but didn't want to hurt me. I saw on C's FB a girls posting on his timeline three times in a row, once with a heart another one calling C her best friend. Anyone else think his answer to my confession is a little confusing? No definite answer? Should I confront him and ask him how he truly feels about me? I have little hope our relationship gets any better but I think I deserve some kind of explanation.
