I’ve been friends with this guy for about 5 years. We’ve never been single at the same time. I recently broke up with ex, it wasn’t a good relationship.
About a week later I go away with friends. This guy friend hits on me quite brazenly. He’s very touchy feely and i’m taken aback. I don’t know if he’s just trying to get in my pants.
For context I do actually like him but I don’t like casual hook ups. I’ve had guy friends in the past try to sleep with me after I become single, so i’m on my guard I guess.
I wait to see how things progress, he becomes inconsistent with communication. Then a mutual friend “casually” mentions he’s dating other women. So I take a step back and things fizzle out.
This is where things get awkward. He’s now turned around and swiftly got a new girlfriend. That’s been on a small friend getaway, which would be couples and me 7th wheeling I guess!?
I really don’t know what to make of things and feel like he’s not really my friend after all?

He shot his shot with you, you turned him down even though you like him due to some personal issues, and he moved on to someone who didn’t shoot him down.
What exactly are you asking advice about?
What did he do to make him not really your friend after all?
This basically would have been solved by talking like adults… now you’ve sort of lost your chance!
