Was i led on?

I’m going to summarize this and not get into detail as best as I can, though I can’t promise I won’t get carried away. So if you read till the end, you actually kind of give a shit or you’re just interested, either way thanks. So it’s been 5-6 months since I’ve tried to become something more with this guy that showed obvious signs of interest in me. We always flirted, talked every day about anything and everything. We became so close we even went on a date we always planned about, we just had to find the right day, he even payed for my meal after we went shopping (it was before Christmas and we were trying to get things for our families, we didn’t actually get shit though, nothing was good enough). When he dropped me off I didn’t exactly go home straight away cause we didn’t want the day to end like that, he parked somewhere and we chilled in his car listening to music as he ate his McFlurry. He offered to feed me but I declined since I had enough ice cream at home...I regret that decision very much now. When I eventually did go home (around 10:30), I couldn’t stop thinking about how much fun I had walking around a mall that I never go to unless I’m with my mom for something. And mind you, he lives a bit far from where I do. The next day or so he was telling me on ig how his heart stopped when he first saw me in person and stuff like that, and he was excited enough to want a second date already. Anyways back to reality, maybe around the third or fourth month we started talking a little less than before....until it was every two days to three...to six, to a week.That second date, after like TWO-THREE months before the first date happened, never happened, because “work :(“. Why didn’t he check in with his work schedule before telling me we were going on another date and he had a “surprise” for me??? He works and goes to school and I only go to school and I always understood he was busy, but he never had a problem making time. He always said things like “You’re out of my league, I can’t date you :(“ out of nowhere sometimes. I also made sure to make it clear how I felt about him but he never once told me if he liked or disliked me. And till this damn day, Sunday March 31st, I still don’t fuckin know how he feels or felt because he hasn’t used WORDS to communicate with me on whether he likes or doesn’t like me, whether he wants to take things slow or whether he doesn’t want a relationship. Just left me guessing. What kind of guy does that?? Though he always made these unique nicknames for me, and he’d screenshot pictures I’d send to him and say all the things a guy would say to a girl if he liked her. He’s the type to express his feelings through memes, songs, and pictures. Anyways, point is he sent mixed signals and now we barely even say anything to each other (mainly cause of him, it’s always him, this is not me playing the blame game) and I still like him very much but I’m just not trying anymore because he’s not being clear. I shouldn’t have to ask him anything because he’s a 19 year old young man capable of using his brain. But he’s such a man-child and he doesn’t even know what it means, which proved my point further. I just always wonder if he ever even liked me at all now, I feel so led on. And it’s crazy cause I still don’t know where we stand because he’s decided that he’ll just be confusing.This is such female behaviour. I’d expect us girls to be this annoying, but I always knew there were guys like this. Any thoughts? Opinions? What do you guys think? If you even read on this far, thanks for that at least.
