Is There Something Wrong?

The Story

Hello! My story is as follows: I am a single woman of 25 years and a year ago a new colleague came to my workplace, who is 13 years older than me, very smart and kind. At the beginning, when we met, we just greeted each other out of politeness when we met in the office, but I noticed that he had very quickly found my profile on social networks and sent me an invitation for friendship, which I accepted. Time passed and we started writing to each other, he called me first. We wrote to each other mostly at work and it was always outside working hours. After a while, we started writing more friendly, not just at work. We also spent a lot of time working together. He kept coming to hang out with me as a child. We discussed topics that were interesting to both of us, we shared some issues and we started getting closer, but we did not go to meetings outside working hours. When he didn't see me during work breaks or when I had to leave early, he always wrote to me after work and asked me where I had been. He also defended me in disputes with colleagues. He was always on my side. I thought he was a good person and somehow a friendship was just forming between us. But suddenly, as we wrote to each other, he kept complimenting me, he kept telling me how nice he was to me, how hardworking I was and how I always did my job well, he told me that I was good, beautiful, smart, charming, great, amazing and a bunch more like that. Of course, it was good for me to hear such things, and I began to look at him not just as a colleague, but as a man with whom I could have a more serious relationship. We kept writing to each other, but I did not have the courage to take a step forward and waited for him to take it. At one point it happened that we wrote to each other at any time, and when I happened to write to him in the evening, sometimes he would back off. I thought he wanted time for himself, in which there is nothing wrong, and I avoided looking for him late. But he always found a way to look for me, again at any time. Then he pulled away again, then he looked for me, I looked for him, and he pulled away again, and this thing happened over and over again. I didn't know anything about his personal life and I started to think he was engaged or married, and he knew I was single. After another withdrawal, I asked him directly. He said he wasn't committed, he just wanted time for himself, as I thought. However, the story of the retreat was repeated, and then I asked him again. Then he said he was engaged and we agreed to remain friends. However, he continued with those compliments and writing at all times. He wanted to stay with his girlfriend, to continue spending time together at work, to write to each other, but he was worried about being at any time, because it was not right for such a beautiful girl to write to him all the time. In the end, after all the conversations, we agreed not to write to each other all the time, or if we write to each other only for work, but I can't understand what's going on. I know some of you will probably tell me that I'm imagining things and that I immediately thought he wanted to have something to do with me, but wouldn't any other girl in my position think the same thing? What could be the reason for his behavior? What advice would you give me? How do I proceed from here? Please people who will pick on me, just do not write. Thanks in advance.
