I think you need to clearly outline some boundaries and let him know that you enjoy his friendship, but are not looking for a boyfriend ATM. Give him a chance to respond and if he can't respect your boundaries, I think you need to take care of you and limit your contact with him. Friendships are amazing when both people are on the same page, when one views the friendship different than the other, it definitely leads to the confusion you are feeling. Good job at seeking out new friends! No matter how this one turns out, don't let it deter you - there are decent people out there!
