Catching feelings for the wrong guy.

I'm really torn between how I'm feeling and the reality of my situation. This boy I met, I instantly connected with him and caught feelings for him like no other. I see this as a sign as he's possibly the one for me. But, he's explained how he doesn't want to be tied down and basically wants a fuck buddy and I've stayed around for that. There are some days where I get emotional and I just want him to myself and there are other days when I don't even think twice when he doesn't reach out to me for like three days - but lately, it's been when he wants to hang out (to have sex). This guy gives me butterflies and I just glow when I talk about him to my friends. I haven't felt this way about a guy since high school. I am a sophomore in college. He brings out my energy and allows me to feel like a little kid and find my calm through my fast pace life between school, work, and other organizations. My instincts are telling me he's also entertaining other females the same way he entertains me and I'm a firm believer in my gut feeling. I'm looking for advice on whether or not I should let this guy go to save my dignity and potentially getting my feelings crushed (even though they are to an extent) or just continue to go with the flow and play the game? Do I deserve this? Will I find someone else I connect with like this? We're both 19 and young and so I guess it makes sense for him to want to be free and do his own thing and I guess I'm doing too much. Just feeling awkward and needing real life suggestions and comments.
