I’m drained.

I have a pretty big crush on this one guy, but I think he’s playing me. For a whole year I worked my butt to get his attention and it worked, but then I confessed and things got weird, so I expected that we’d just stop talking and go our own ways. Months later though, he hits me up and we keep texting back and forth (I was almost over him man..) and then he suggest we start calling, so we do. He flirts with me a bit, but idk how to respond, so I just laugh it off. (I’m bad at dating.) eventually I start having hope he likes me back! But...rumors fly around that he is talking to another girl and he even went on a date with her. This broke my heart, so I started trying to get over him again, not knowing their relationship. We still talked (I know, I’m stupid for falling in the “trap”). A week later he kind of starts being distant after I mentioned an “interest” (a total lie. Just wanted to hear his reaction; we were on the phone.) after that he grew distant. Wanting to end this crush again, I told him I liked him...once again...he basically ended up saying stuff like “let’s see how things go.” Basically giving me hope. But the other day I saw him go to that girl and they both left the room together and I later see them together in the halls. I know everything is confusing, but I’m trying to summarize to the best of my abilities. I don’t have many female friends to rant to, so I thought why not try glow, and here I am. I like this boy so so much, yet..here I am, being a fool and falling for him. He has obviously flirted with me and would even come up to me at school and initiate conversation, which is what I would do last year. He is confusing me and it hurts that he gave me a hope that is probably just a lie. I’m losing hope with my romance life overall now. He was the first guy who didn’t give me a cold shoulder...but I guess it was too good to be true.
