Cancer guys and crushes?

This cancer guy likes me right, and I suspected it but wasn't sure until one time we were hanging out and he kind of told me so I made it clear I wasn't interested in him or dating at all right now (this was late last year) and I thought that was that and he said he'd back off and I thought good, that's good. Although he did allude to that he'd keep trying (as a joke but i don't think he was joking) but after that he said he'd stop trying. And we talked about how he really wanted to be in a relationship and everything, and based on what he's been going through and stuff, and I told him I thought he should focus on himself before he finds a girlfriend. I don't think he agreed with me because for some reason he really feels like he needs a relationship.

Anyway so recently some friends were like 'you know so so and so likes you, right?' and i told them i was aware, but now I'm worried because apparently he still likes me. I don't want this. I turned down hanging out with him recently, and I don't even see him often and I literally only ever see him at church lol, and I try not to talk for him for too long just to make it clear I only want to be casual friends.

Why is this happening? What do I do?

try to play matchmaker with him and someone else, or you can just cut off contact completely

I still see him at church like once every two weeks or whatever and if I completely ignore him I'd look like a bitch, and I already feel bad ignoring him as much as I already do. Also I'm wary of him because I think he tries to subtly emotionally manipulate me which annoying and a bad sign.

I might try your matchmaker idea though, thank you 🙂
