Hey, so I have a huge crush on a male coworker. We are quite close at work and we flirt together. However, we are not in a position to date each other.

I saw him the other weekend and we were both a little drunk. I ended up telling him how I felt about him. I asked him if he liked me back and he said “you’re a lovely person”. I kept asking him, and he kept saying that I’m lovely. Eventually, he said “yes I do, but we can’t be together” and then we had a couple of quick kisses on the lips.

Since then, he’s been awkward around me at work. There is a stark contrast between how he was before and how he is now. He says that everything’s fine and our friendship is unaffected. He even said he didn’t remember what happened, even though I text him the next day apologising and he said it was fine.

Every time I’ve seen him outside of work and we’ve had a few drinks, he’s always been very huggy and has even nuzzled into my hair.

At work, he is hot and cold. He used to stare at me a lot but now he seems to avoid eye contact. And when we have lunch, he used to sit beside me or opposite me. But now he either sits by me but moves his chair further down the table or he sits diagonally opposite me.

I’ve noticed he does still joke with me and his voice goes soft if it’s just us two. Why is he being like this? Does he have feelings for me?

A guy friend of mine and I are usually really close and enjoy each others company.
We engage in a lot of banter, but he is in a relationship so it never is anything serious.

Because I hadn't seen him in a while, I decided to add him on socials.

He accepted. A few days later an incident between the two of us occurred for which I reached out and apologised. Things seemed to be alright afterwards, so I made a joke and that was it. He deleted me the day after.

I don't expect any of you to know why he would unfriend me, but if this would have been you in this scenario: what would make you delete someone you usually get along with really well?
