Maybe I expect too much? I've halfway accepted the idea of being alone for the rest of my life. I was actually feeling pretty good about the situation with the guy at work, felt like it was heading in the right direction, but now I'm not so sure and a bit hesitant to try to push it out of the "friendzone".

You should have said this, unsmiling, to your frenemy, when he/she said "he's got pretty high standards": "So do I."
You don't have to be alone for the rest of your life if you don't want to. But it's good to remember it is preferable to be alone, than to be unhappily yoked to someone. I hope things work out for you.
