Search Results: sending mixed signals

Basically, I met a guy online lol. We both started talking at the same time our relationships had just ended. We spoke everyday almost all day for like 4 months on Facebook. We had so much in common, I have never met anyone I've had that with. I literally wouldn't care if he were ugly lol, I just love his personality. I told him from the very start that I didn't want to lead him on, that I wasn't ready for anything more than friendship because I hadn't got over my ex. He was fine with that and we started a really lovely friendship. Inevitably, I start growing feelings for this genuinely lovely, great guy. I told him straight up that I liked him as more than a friend (around 2 months in) and he was really shocked. Although he was attracted to me intially he always saw us as friends because of what I said so it was hard for him to see us as more. When I told him he did tell me he got butterflies though lol, he even told his boss to hit him for being so blind! (Even though it was sort of obvious to everyone else since we used like at least a hundred kisses lmao). On the same night we had the same dream too! So creepy, it was of us at a party dancing specifically by a buffet lol. Anyway, so since then he was sending me so many mixed signals; he would seem so interested in me. He'd be really flirty sometimes and even suggested a movie night and cooking for me around his! But then he'd be unsure about his feelings. He said he "thinks" he likes me as more but he's scared of getting hurt and hurting me and losing the friendship.

I have a friends with benefits and although I can I haven't really slept with anyone else, more so because I work 50 hours a week but also because he is really good. Anyway, he's been suspicious lately ever since I started working again. He will make jokes that are obviously a little more than jokes for example I am sick and he says "maybe you should stop kissing so many men at your work". And at first I just laughed but all of his jokes are about the same thing, me sleeping or being with someone else. I'm starting to get the feeling he is trying to make me admit to sleeping with someone else without being direct because we aren't exclusive. I think he feels guilty because he has been talking to another girl and he wants me to have been doing the same thing so he doesn't feel as bad maybe? He also tried to hide the fact that he was trying to get with her from me but it was painfully obvious that he was and his friends were talking about it to me, so I asked him if he slept with her because I don't want any STDs, But then he says she's not into him even though to me she looked very into him. And that same night asked me to stay so he could lay with me instead of just leaving after sex. He's really sending me mixed signals and it's kind of been messing with my head. Was he feeling guilty, jealous or playing mind games?
