There's this guy

So, there's this guy who I met yesterday at an LGBTQ Youth Group and we hit it off right away. Well, I accepted a challenge to try and make him awkward, and that challenge led to my hands being around his crotch without actually touching anything. Well, a friend of ours was in the room with us (because she too had accepted the challenge) and she was rubbing in how she was the first to do stuff with him. Me being me, I said there was something she hadn't done yet, and proceeded to kiss him. Let me tell you this though, he had said earlier that I could kiss him to try to make him awkward, but I decided against it. So, we kissed and he shoved his tongue in my mouth. Well, it was a sad day after that because one of the workers was leaving. I was crying a lot, so he wrapped his arm around me and every time I would start to cry, he would tighten his arm a little more and let me bury my face in his shoulder. Then, we kept feeding each other food and walking around with our arms around each other and getting up in each others' faces to have a laugh. Well, before he left, he pulled me close and sweetly kissed me. After that we started texting a lot. Today, we went to a Food Truck Fest and it was kind of awkward because I knew nobody there, and he knew pretty much everyone. But, before he left, we hugged and he buried his face in my shoulder. So, I decided I wanted to tell him that I like him. This is what I sent, "So, I know we haven’t known each other very long, but we have an awesome friendship and I don’t want to ruin that friendship. I mean, I’m not one who does something like this after two days of knowing someone, and you’ve heard the ex-stories. I’ve said I have horrible taste in men, and you’ve agreed. I’m hoping this doesn’t ruin the friendship we have or the challenge I have accepted, but I really like you. I’ve even told you that I’m not one to cuddle after just meeting someone, or kiss them after just meeting them, but I feel like I can be myself around you." His reply was, "I FUCKING KNEW IT, and i think i like you too, but i kinda want to take some time and get to know you better first, mostly because im not a huge fan of relationships so im not 100% sure if i want to jump into one with anybody at all right now, but you are an amazing person and im glad i met you." He then texted me, "It's also that I've been talking to this girl, and I'll feel really douchey leading her on and then dating someone else. I've also never been in a situation like this before so I have no fucking clue what to do and I'm just really confused, and I'm sorry I'm being like this and I just need to get my head in order." What do I do, because I feel like I ruined this friendship really quickly and made it awkward between us.

Let him figure it out, be his friend, don't kiss him anymore and tell him how much you like him, it'll give him all the power. That he can keep you were you are at and still talk to this other girl and have his cake and pie. Get my drift? If he decides that he wants to be in a relationship, great. If not, don't make someone a priority when you're just an option. Sounds cheesy but it's true.
