Libra guy at work flirts with me a lot. Well. He flirts with a lot of girls. Or used to.
He showed a lot of interest and I responded the same.
But then, at social outings sometimes he will completely ignore my existance. Walk past me with his back facing me so he won't say hi. Yet he gets jealous (he won't admit it but he also won't stop staring) when I chat alone to other guys.
One night he would eagerly wait for me to kiss and hug him goodbye. Another night he would quickly move away just cos our knees accidentally touched.
He does get a lot more flirty when it's just the two of us.

He's going away for a while on holiday in a couple of weeks and last night he was in one of his off moods. Chatting and flirting with all other girls but me.. (He was nice, but very cold compared to how he is many other nights - when I don't give him attention for example or when it's just us two). I asked if he wants to come with me for a cigarette and he said "I'm too tired but I will before I go"... Which was weird. Like he also feels we need to talk about whatever this is.

So is he just bipolar? Is he not interested? Why does he not do this with other girls he flirts with? Just me? (The whole on one minute, off the next). He also doesn't seem to get jealous about other girls, just me (I know because I know the other girls he flirts with). Also our flirting seems more intense and yet, he also can completely ignore me another night...
Basically, it makes me wonder if this is him not interested or actually him being scared. Because I feel this tension whenever we are by each other, and a part of me thinks he feels it too.

No he's definitely interested. At least with me I always do that hot and cold thing, where I seem totally interested then not. Libras dont like expressing showing emotions and will 'try' hard to hide they're feelings but they come off very transparent and moody at times. Just be honest with him and tell him how you feel so he can he'll for more comfortable expressing himself

This dude is 37 and behaving this way.

....this dude is THIRTY SEVEN and behaving this way.

Now you know why he's single.

Keep reminding yourself of this. He's behaving like an ass. Why would you continue to be attracted to someone like that?

Also, strike "is he scared?" from your vocabulary and mentality. This is a stupid fuck concept that women perpetuate when a man acts like an ass, which is what this guy is doing. He is not "scared." Men who are hot and cold are NOT "scared." They're immature asshats who are playing games. Men who aren't emotionally stunted do not behave this way around women they are interested in.

The last time I had a guy behave like this around me, it turned out he was one of the most psychotic men (boy) I have ever come across. Issues up the ass, emotionally fucked, and treated women terribly. Couldn't get his life together to save his ass. All in all, immature. I always wondered wtf was up with his behavior but stopped caring when I realized the dude was just a walking trainwreck. He didn't deserve my time or attention and I told him to fuck off.

Please, do yourself a favor and find a man that will act his age (you are now at the age where that should be an expectation of men your age). If you meet guys in their mid to late 30s still acting very much like teenagers and young 20 somethings, run for the fucking hills. That shit will NOT change.

I'm an Aries. 29. He's 37. Definitely single. Also I tend to have many men around me.. have more male friends than females. I don't think he likes that.
Why would you continue having interest in a guy who already has issues with other men in your life and he's not even actually dating you?

NEXT.

Find someone who is compatible with you AND your life. You cannot force the square peg into the round hole.

Pretty much what rockyroad said, although to answer your question more directly, guy isn't that into you. Men know how to date women they are interested in.

Here is a bit of advice that might save you some heartache on the bumpy road to love. Unless they are asking you out on actual dates, they don't exist.
YEP.

That's why it pisses me off every time I hear some poor girl utter, "is he scared?"

NO. NO HE IS NOT. HE IS NOT INTO YOU.

You will KNOW when a guy is legitimately into you. He plays hot/cold because he's immature and is fucking around with you because he gets off on the attention. Guys are very much guilty of being "cock teases" like women can be.

Oh boy an attention whore… yippy(rolls eyes) gross.
I personally don’t like guys that openly crave attention from multiple women. I mean if it happens naturally for him, then that’s different but when he’s going out of his way to flirt with anything in a skirt, it’s a turn off for me. It makes me feel like he doesn’t have any standards, and a man with no standards will mess with anything, which means…you’re not special. Get it?
At least that’s just how I look at it.

Anyway, I recently had a crush on a Leo. He gets a lot of attention just like your Libra but he doesn’t openly flirt with the women that come his way. He doesn’t even look for the attention, he just gets it. Heck he barely responds to the advances that come his way, and if he does it’s not over the top or flirty, it’s more cool and polite, showing that he basically just doesn’t want to be flat out rude or come off like a jerk. I tend to show him small amounts of attention, just like he does me. Nothing major like most women that go after him.

I get the feeling he’s used to women coming to him, so I show that I know he exist but I wont over do it, because I don’t want to fall in line like the others. Recently he surprised me by speaking to me first, I spoke back he gave me a brief hug, told me I look nice then he walked off, I smiled and said thank you and walked off too.
Let the man be the man. In your case, I wouldn’t hold my breath. He does sound rather immature.

I agree with the comments here. Although I would like to add some extra points. I am an Aries guy and I've had my fair share of Libra women. Yes they do come across as bi-polar. But speaking one Aries to another. I know we like games and a challenge and we wonder why things aren't working out, we want things to be perfect and will perhaps over-analyse. We are impatient, and unfortunately you need patience dealing with a Libra. I could be wrong but think about this, my advice is not to make your feelings clear, act like what he is doing is normal. Don't show him much attention and let him do the work (after all he is the guy), I know Aries women go for what they want, it's attractive to me as an Aries, but it's the opposite for Libras, it isn't attractive. They want time to decide, they don't want in you face confrontation, they do get scared. So my advice is just to not to put that much effort in, forget him, and if he comes back and makes the effort to see you, then let him. But let him do the work. I can't really explain why but if you use force, you will come off worse, you will wonder why it's going wrong more than you do now.
I know this is extremely hard for and Aries. But if you are like me, you know we can fight fire with fire, and it will work out. But you can't fight libra indecisive behaviour with fire.
Find something else to concentrate on, maybe another guy (who knows), if he does do the work, then I think you will feel better but you will probably be bored of him by then, it will take time for him to do anything. But at least you will win if you have patience, if you act brash, you will lose. So forget him. Ignore him and talk to other guys, don't give him attention. Aim to win the game, not the guy, you only think you want the guy, but it's actually more the game you want to win, you win with patience, and when you win, you will be bored of him.
