Search Results: signs he is attracted to you

Sorry in advance if this question is long but I wanted to be as detailed as possible to give an idea of my situation.

I have a friend that at one point we both admitted to having feelings for each other. But I asked him to slow down and let us get to know each other first and see where it leads. He agreed.

But as I got to know him more, I asked could we try going out; I felt we were ready. He said he did not want to risk messing up our the friendship if we dated and things did not work out, but he would "think about it." Okay fine.

But now he is confusing me.

He calls me every day when he wakes up, if he's bored at work, or just because. I rarely initiate any phone calls or texts to him so I thought that was a good sign he was into me or trying to get to know me better.

Yet he never wants to hang out with me or go out, even as friends! Earlier, he told me he was going to the movies tonight and made sure to emphasize he was going alone. He even asked me did I think it was that weird that he liked going alone. Whereas I was trying to go with him to the movies! Hint was ignored :(
Even friends spend time together, or so I thought.

The only time we get together involves doing work. I try to do nice stuff for him to show him I care, yet he does not catch the hint or shrugs it off. But he teases me over things you wouldn't discuss with a friend, like sex. I am noticing the more we talk, the less sex or flirty jokes he makes. Does that mean he is no longer attracted to me?

So what does he want? I am really confused over here. I tried asking him but he never gives me a straight answer!
I am okay with being friends, though I would like more. I want know what his deal is. Any help would be appreciated!

Let me state first of all that personally I DO think it’s okay for guys, including those with SO’s, to like other girls’ selfies on social media. And I would also like to clarify that I’m not talking about selfies of girls that are borderline pornographic, you know the kind I’m talking about. The kind I am talking about in this post, the ones that I think are harmless, I’ve included an example of (a guy I know’s fiancée got super mad at him for liking this pic of me on Instagram, and she made him unfollow me). The meme above is something a girl I know, who is married, posted on FB, but I don’t really agree with it (the part about selfies, let’s just ignore the stuff in the middle for now). Now, this girl is VERY insecure, is overweight, and is on her second marriage because her first husband only married her to get his Canadian citizenship, and as soon as he got it he started cheating on her. Now, her case is a bit extreme in terms of her insecurity, but I’ve met quite a few women, many of whom are very attractive, who get very jealous and irate if their husband or boyfriend, who, by all appearances seem to be very devoted to them, likes selfies of other women who are attractive. Do they have a point? Is liking other girls’ social media pics, or even just looking at them in their IG stories, and indication that they are attracted to these other women and are thinking of cheating? Or is that a bit irrational? I personally think it is. I think if a woman has a big problem with her man doing that, it’s a sign that she’s either very insecure, or there may be some underlying problems in the relationship, and deep down she’s afraid that he’s attracted to other women and might want to cheat. If so, I think those issues should be addressed in the relationship, because that level of distrust and jealousy, to the point where a man can’t like another girls’ pictures, is very unhealthy. But, that’s just my opinion. What do you all think?
