Let's call my ex boyfriend for LUKE

Yesterday me and my best friend were texting about work and she suddenly texten this👇, but I tried to play it cool=

She= By the way, would it be okay if I come in contacted with Luke again? I don't want to do it behind your back, that's why I'm asking☺️

Me= As friends or a date?

She= Friends

Me= I was going to say that no matter what, you don't need my permission for that. Sure it's uncomfortable, to be honest, but I would never stop someone from being friends or anything with someone.

She= No, I know that! But I still wanted to ask you because I didn't want to go behind your back, you're still my best friend❤️

Me= That's my honest answer. Well thought out, that's my honest answer anyway.

She= And if you had said no, I wouldn't have contacted him

Me= Cute, but it's okay

She= Okay, good to know❤️
Me= yes

Story = so in 2023 me and this guy Luke dated from May- August, but broke up because he says he had issues with his family and work and is so stressed and can't jungle everything rn or give me the kind of man I want rn. So I thought that I should not be a burden and just accept his excuse and break up. During the first week we were dating , I had asked my friends if they knew him. my best friend sayd she knows him and that they had a small crush on each other when they were teenagers and he had kissed her on the cheek and run. I felt uncomfortable and even tho I had began to like Luke a lot, I was ready to end it, but then my best friend sayd that I don't need to end it because they don't have feelings for each other and that I should not let it come between me and love. So I trusted her words, but still felt uncomfortable and wanted to hear Luke's side of the story too if he likes her or if they were together of something long ago. He sayd no and a assured me that it was just a small crush back then and he doesn't feel anything for her. So I trusted him and felt less ucomfortable.

God I was blind...

So I have this coworker he a very quiet kinda timid man we will call Zack. I'm considered a Zack expert at work because again Zack doesn't really talk much but I talk constantly so I tend to get him to speak to me. Zack will come find me to let me know it's break time and has say with me during lunch once or twice to talk to me about books.

He tends to startle me because he's a rather small man and quite so I never know he's there and he always appears close by me like if I lift my elbow id probably bump him.

He tries to help me when he can and I don't know if he does it because he himself doesn't like it or because he knows I have damage to my ears but he sets pallets down quietly instead of slamming them like everyone else.

He will also try to pull stickers and stuff that get stuck in my hair off me.

He even picks on me a little bit like might make fun of my spelling

I tried to invite him to see a movie by saying I was going to see if you liked xyz movie because if you did I was going to invite you to come with.

he didn't say no but he also didn't say yes he kinda just evaded the question but asked if I ever went and seen the movie like I wanted.

He's kinda hard to read

Is he just being nice and tolerant of me as a coworker dose he want to be my friend or is he interested in me I just don't know?
