Mixed signals... is he interested?

I met a guy mid last year at a mates party. We spent the night chatting; he gave me Poker tips while we were playing, and we cheated our way to winning numerous games of pool (he asked which ball I had, then avoided it on the table).
During the night we discovered we worked together. I thought he was friendly but I went through a messy breakup the week earlier and wasn't looking for anything.
I ran into him a fortnight later at work and spent 15mins talking to him. I developed a crush on him around that time.
Chatting to our mutual friend around that time, he said [crush] had broken up with his gf recently, said he wanted to get to know me better.
After that I started running into him at work about once a fortnight, our chats got longer and one day he ran from what he was doing up to where I was walking to chat.
I saw him about a month ago, just as he was finishing work (I still had an hour to go) and I ran into another room to grab some things after speaking with him briefly. I was expecting him to be gone when I came out but he was waiting by the door. He walked me to my car, mainly looking at his shoes, chatting quietly. After I got in, he walked away, then back to my car, turned around went back to his, turned around walked back to mine then shook his head.
That night I decided I should ask him out and did.
He replied with "I'm sorry but have just started seeing someone so I can't."
When I saw him about a fortnight later, I was busy at work and couldn't talk, but he kept trying to create some conversation.
I haven't seen him since. That was last week.

I have no idea what to make of this. Should I give up on him?

    Sounds like if he were interested in you he would have asked you out and not someone else. Sorry. Plenty of fish in the sea though!

    it sounds like he knew that you were interested and didn't know how to tell you he had someone else. he probably felt really bad that he was gonna break your heart or something.

    If he were interested he would be doing everything to talk to you. The other person would not have happened. It seemed like he was into you, but he never asked you out. That is a little confusing. I would just move on unless he comes to you.

    I'm not sure if you would be called a "friend with benefits" but I believe he did find someone he was interested with after he wanted to get to know you better. So possibly that girl caught his attention as a girlfriend but you met him before her as a potential gf.

    That's the only answer I can think of. :/

    I think he's one of those people who wants it all. If he started seeing someone, why was he acting so interested?
    The situation in the parking lot certainly sent strong signals that he was interested.

    At least you asked him out, got it out there. Now that it's out of your chest, move on.
