In my opinion, he confessed his feelings to himself a while ago during one of his Tai Chi sessions.....remember the one when he crushed the flower and put out the lamp with his bare hands?
If I remember correctly, he acknowledged his feelings for Geet but forced himself to put them to one side as his past experience and his pride wouldn't allow him to accept that he has changed.....
However, he knew that he was still vulnerable to her effect on him and so he was determined to avoid her as much as possible. Thus, he removes her from her office and sends her away as far as possible from him to the hotel! When he meets her at work the next day, he avoids looking at her and ignores her as much as he can...and only talks to her when she literally stops him from leaving the room.
All this was possible for him to do as long as he was aware that Geet had no such feelings for him.
I think his acceptance of the inevitable, ie, he can't run anymore from his feelings for her, came after the dargah scene when he saw the look in her eyes.....he even asked himself wonderingly, if that look meant what he thinks it meant.
The final bowing down to the inevitable came the day at the rose garden when he felt that defeat wasn't such a bad thing at all......in other words, he has finally accepted that love has defeated him and has claimed its victory over him and he has happily and willingly given in.
All this has been done subtly by the CVs....quite living up to the character of Maan that they have etched....deep, brooding and unexpressive in face or emotion...till Geet stormed into his life!
As we are used to the usual love decalarations on TV and film, we are unknowingly conditioned to expect it in every show.
The CVs of Geet are one cunning lot.....they actually make us think!!! A first for a soap!!
Sorry for the long post but I hope you are less confused now.....just as I am.
