Sitting longhanded in an online room. I’m wondering if i played the hand correctly, or if i should have done something differently?

One more question, because this type of situation comes up a lot for me.

This happens quite often. My first question is if my flop bet was correct. And i feel like it was. No one has shown aggression. And i think its possible to pick up the pot right here for the smallest investment, so i bet.
When raised though, now i am at an utter loss. Betting and folding seems wrong on the flop round, because i feel i would have been called and raised on the turn if my foe had a monster. So i called, putting him on J/x or a flush draw, looking for a cheap river. The turn card missed completely. I checked and he bet. I feel confident now he has a jack. But am i getting outplayed by a flush draw?
Similar things come up often. Just wondering what your view is on it.
