Am I making too much of this?

I'll try and be brief.

I am single and I like a certain man who I have recently found out is in the middle of a divorce.

I thought it best I leave him alone as he didn't show any interest and I didn't want to be seen as pouncing on him as soon he became 'available' IYSWIM?

Anyway recently he's been making conversation with me and everytime I rope more meaning into it than I know I should.

A few days ago he came over to speak to me and told me about how 'she' now has her own house etc so its much easier for him to get on with things now...I roped allsorts into it but then when he left a couple of hours later he didn't say goodbye or even look in my direction so was I being daft? he was just making conversation to be friendly right?

He was just making conversation. Don't make the mistake of reading too much into everything he says or does or overanalysing his behaviour. You'll only be disappointed.

Why did he come over to speak to you? What is the background? Are you two friends? Work colleagues?

It's impossible for us to know! It depends on what signals you are giving out- if he came over to chat and you were all cold and frosty, rather than warm and interested, he might have decided not to bother- hence the not saying goodbye. But without knowing if you share an office or whatever, it's hard to know.

Are you friends? How long have you known him?

You need to remember though that men are simple, not complex, if he liked you you would know.

Have you had any indication that he might be sexually interested in you? Any lingering gazes, excuses to touch your hand/arm/shoulder etc? How long have you known him?
It's always easy and tempting to over-analyse when you fancy the pants off someone (I used to do this and was nearly always wrong) but generally if a man is interested he says or does something to that effect fairly rapidly.

they are simple, but not good at giving the correct signs.

sorry if that confuses you further op!

yes we need more info of context, how long you have know one another etc...
