Okay what in the world?

Okay.I met a guy when he would come into work.Hes nice and cute and we instantly had a connection.He's a single dad.I'm a single mother but he is so hard to read.Hes like wishy washy.Ya see he will make comments like this girl at work seen him and said oh he's cute and I was like oh no back off him I like him and he said well why didnt you just tell her I was your man but then later when we meet up he talks about how he likes being single and not being anyones man.I dont get it.Or he will ask me to spend all this time with him and when I get there I can tell he wants to be near me but then he finds reasons why I or he has to leave.Is he just scared or do you think he plays head games.??
