He's really flirty towards me (even though he is not like that with other girls, at least when i'm around) and will tease me about random stuff or private jokes between us, smile a lot and give me dirty looks.I thought there was something there and asked him out, but his reaction wasn't quite what i wanted it to be: he's just out of a 5 year long relationship and is enjoying being single again, and has never really seen me in a romantic kinda way. We agreed on no weirdness ad being friends like before.i think that after asking him out, my feelings should be pretty obvious and since it's unrequited it would be normal that he'd back off a little - or am i wrong? - but he keeps being flirting and teasing and it's really driving me crazy.why does he do it?

 He just likes you as a friend and guys aren't usually bothered by female attention! Of course he doesn't flirt with other females while you are around because he likes the attention you give him and he doesn't have to make a commitment to get it! But of course he flirts with other girls!! This is a great situation for him!It would be normal for a more emotionally mature guy to back off because he would feel bad about leading you on and would care more about your feelings.The fact he just got out of a 5 yr relationship has nothing to do with why he is not going out with you. He has been very direct with you about not wanting to go out with you. If he's driving you crazy, it's because you are refusing to believe that.
