Guys are so confusing

Need I say more? Girls, you know what's up.

So, I broke up with my boyfriend of 5 years. More on that in a future post. So yes, I'm single again. I kinda miss being single and doing whatever you want whenever you want. All four years of college, I basically did everything with my ex-boyfriend and ended up not really enjoying life to the fullest. Life is short, so you know, YOLO.

Anyways, what I wanted to talk about was that guys. Are fricking confusing. They do one thing, and it means this, and then they go ahead and forget that they even did it and leave you hanging. Like what?!

So there's this guy at work who I think has a crush on me since I think he thinks that I like him because I always help him look out for emails that gets sent to our group inbox.

We have two inboxes we need to manage, our team inbox and our personal inbox. We don't always have time to manage two inboxes along with all of our daily work that also needs to get done. We also use Skype (Lync) to communicate with each other.

Back to the story. So I usually will help him out with managing some of the emails that we get, and we get A LOT of email flooded to our team inbox, some of which we're just copied for some odd reason. So I'll usually Skype message him certain emails or things that he needs to look out for, since we all miss an email or two sometimes. So I guess he thought that by me looking out for some of the emails and tasks that it meant that I might have liked him? Oh, and he also joined a few months after I "officially" started. So I guess we're like the two newbies.

So one day, I message him something, I forget what it was, but I think that day, it was a really slow day, and I was sending him emoticons (yes, not emojis) instead of replying cos I find that easier sometimes, depending on the situation.

So then he replies something like "You're really cute and all, but I don't speak smiley!" in which I read after I had send the (headbang) emoticon, so I guess I was confusing him cos after that he said that I was confusing him.

That same day, he got annoyed because everything that could have gone wrong, WENT WRONG. To add onto that, our manager was on vacation, and we couldn't get a hold of him, so everything just went berserk.

We're also a bit short-staffed, so whenever he takes lunch, my co-worker and I have to pitch in to handle his work for an hour or so. Apparently, one of us didn't keep an eye on certain things, and he got annoyed. Again.

"I don't know if I mentioned this, but when you guys are covering for me, could you please ...?" in which I answered a simple, "Sure." I was also fed up with all of that day's work.

Confidential information I'm not allowed to share. It's a regulatory thing.

So the same day, a few hours later, I'm done with MOST of my work and offered to help out on some of his work. And then I guess he wants me to add something, so I do, and ask my supervisor to help out. Meanwhile, I finished part of what he handed me, and he also happens to come over and put his elbow on my head. "...I'm just putting my elbow on your head" As if that's normal between co-workers. I just brush it off.

Before I say anything else, I also want to say, he asks me to print some stuff for him sometimes, since he doesn't have the application to do so. One time, he said, "Jenny, my favourite person in the world," which I just brushed off, since I think the 3 other people who do have access to the same application couldn't be bothered to help him with a small request.

I also want to add, he usually is listening to music most of the time.

The next day, I didn't see him listen to any kind of music. he also happened to be wearing the same colour as I did that day, which I found a bit odd. Whatever, maybe that's just me.

TL;DR
Guys are so confusing. They do one thing and it makes you assume something and then they do the opposite and you're like what?
