The wrong way

A while back Tom had told me that he doesn't have feelings like I do for him. I don't remember what he excatly said but meaning is that He doesn't like me in a why I like him but he doesn't know that. When he told me that I said yeah I like you as a friend. But what I don't get is that before he went into the seminary he would flirt with me but maybe I took it the wrong way. I am trying not to think about him cause knowing that he is gonna be a priest I know I don't have to think about me hooking up with him.
