Advice needed!!!

Ok this story's kinda long, but I'll try to keep it as short as possible. but I work at a grocery store and one day this guy came in and gave me his number in the sweetest way but I'm not gonna go into that. Anyways, I texted him, and we talked a lot, and eventually we went out. Afterwards he started calling me babe and cute pet names and stuff and I thought it was a little fast but I just went with it anyways. So eventually we hung out with a few friends and later he texted me and said he thought things were going fast and I told him I felt the same way. Apparently he was ending things with us and I thought we were just slowing down. Anyways he clarified eventually but we kept talking anyways. Then we hung out which I thought we were doing just as friends, but he started doing really sweet things like giving me his sweater or randomly looking at me while we were watching the fireworks (that was on July 3rd) and afterwards he asked me to walk him to his car since he had to go so I said sure and we went, but he didn't get in, he just kind of leaned against it and we started talking. He eventually held my hands until I pulled away, but he pulled me in and we kissed. And mind you, we kissed a lot and for a REALLY long time. We haven't hung out since, but I'm just so confused cause he'll set future dates or something, but he'll do other stuff like call me bro or fam and I'm just so confused 😣

I know a lot of you are gonna tell me to talk to him but we're not gonna see each other anytime soon and I'm kind of avoiding doing this over text and it's kind of driving me crazy
