Search Results: how should i act around the guy i like

My name is Elise and I had a falling out with my ex-best-friend Mo about 3-4 years ago over small reasons. I did hurt her, but I never intended to cause her as much pain as I did. We were friends our freshman year of college and I ended up breaking her trust by going for two guys we both liked. Anyways, we had an amazing connection and I feel like I haven't been able to find anyone else like her since we were friends. She was truly my better half, she genuinely accepted me for who I was, and I never felt judged by her. I could be my authentic self around her and I truly just miss having her in my life. When our friendship first ended, we couldn't even talk to one another and she would be pretty passive aggressive when she saw me. She would stare at me, try to be loud to get my attention, or do things to get me to look at her. However, in the past 2 years we've gotten to the point where we can be cordial and act friendly with each-other in person. Although, I haven't seen her in over 6 months because we graduated college and are working at different places. When I was able to see her in person last year, I could tell we still cared about one another and each-other's well being. In the past 6 months, I have texted her a few times to get help with work stuff and she responded, but the last time I texted her in November, she never replied so I was just confused. I am now at the point where I want to text her and tell her I have something important I want to talk to her about and just tell her how I feel about everything and explain how much I miss her/want to earn her trust back. I can't get her/our friendship off my mind and it's been taking a toll on me emotionally. I just want to know what's the best next step to take. Any advice? Thanks so much for your help and time if you answer, I appreciate it!

Everyone at work thought we had a crush on each other. There were times where he would approach my desk. He even laid his body across my desk to look at my pictures. He pointed to one of my pictures and gave it a thumbs up and said cute. He told me I was socially awkward. He sometimes messes around with me by pulling small pranks. I remember I confronted him about the rumors of us and asked if felt awkward because everyone kept pushing us to get together and I didn't want to upset him with what's circulating. He would get really irritated when people made subtle comments about us. He said didn't feel awkward and didn't deny anything. He joked that we should go on a double date. Another day he told me to take his number down if I want to talk about it more. I didn't take his number but got his social media page.
He started to act weird and ignore me and even talk about me to coworkers. I got upset and he/I didn't talk or interact with each other for a week. I deleted him off social media where he can't follow me or see my post. Then I find out he's seeing another person who used to work with us. She's supposedly engaged to someone else but they've gone on dates. She sent him a romantic gift to our job. So I ended up backing off completely. Fast forward to now, I saw him snooping on my social media page watching my stories. (My profile is public).
We slowly started interacting by making small talk again. He messaged me and asked me to do a favor. I don't know why but I said sure. He wanted me to make something for him. I ended up giving him my number. I did the project for him and he says thank you, he appreciates it. Didn't even say thank you, I owe you one or I'll give you some snacks... Nothing. I don't know if this guy like legit hates me/likes messing around with me for fun.

This guy and I work together.
