help!!!

I'm talking to this guy, who my friend from high school, and he told me that if wants to build a couples relationship out of a friendship (which brings us back to say we're talking) and so we're flirting and I guess he's developed a trust issue cause he got jealous over one of my guy friends and thought I was talking to him too, I explained to him that my guy friend was like a brother to me, and his reply was "mhm" and I said, what ever floats your boat, cause I wasn't going to argue back and forth with him over a friend. And so he said "you need to find water for a boat to float" so I jokingly sent him a screenshot of the map and said "you have water anywhere you'd like... but if you want I can take you to paradise" (trying to be flirtatious) and so he said "where's paradise" and I said "it's a secret" and then he said "let's make it our secret" and I said "you gotta work for it" and he said "how"
