Confusing Cap

Heya!!

So, here's yet another confusing Cap situation lol, gotta love these guys.

So I'm good friends w my Cap, in fact when we first hung out he used to call me his best friend. By now I've known him two years, and naturally yes I am in love with the man. And he knows this, or at least knows I really like him. My question is whether you guys think there is even the smallest chance he might ever feel anything for me back.

When we were first friends he used to tell me "there are no other girls right now," which we werent dating but whatevs. For the longest time he was super jealous of an old flame of mine, he even showed up at a work function to make sure this other guy wasnt there.

Lately, we did have some tension because I had told a couple of our work friends in confidence about he and I hanging out and not only did they blab back to him BUT they made it into a big deal like we were dating. I felt bad about that bc I know he is a private person, plus makes it look like I am spreading rumors about us dating or whatever.

A few months back I did ask him about going out with me and he said I was "too spirited" for him?? Then a few weeks after all that talk where he basically gave that as an answer to not date me, he texts saying he is drunk right now so I can probably "get a lot out of him," as in sharing feelings. So he comes over and says "I know you always have questions for me." And I was like "you already basically rejected me, what questions would I have?" We joked and laughed and had a great time all night. But then he talked like he wanted me to "get over" him, but if so then why come over??

Then last week I have lunch with him and his brother, a Taurus. My Cap was pretty quiet w me, but Brother kept including me in the conversation and playfully scolding Cap for not being a gentleman, and even encouraged to come out with him and Cap more often. Which makes me wonder if those two have talked about me or if all that was a coincidence on Brother's part. At the end my Cap tried to sound all reluctant: "So I guess we should walk her to her car??" And brother was like "That WOULD be the gentleman thing to do." Haha those too were a RIOT.

Anyway. I could tell more stories but: does anyone think there could still be something there? I mean we are still friends so Im not really stressing, just curious for people's thoughts. There was a time ALL our mutual friends assured me he liked me, but maybe they were all mistaken?? Or maybe there cld be something there but he doesnt see it?? Or maybe Im just crazy lol. By the by, Im an Aries-Taurus cusp, though thankfully with all the Taurus patience as this man doth require much.
