Confused

I need help girl please... So this guy and I have been friends for a while now... We became friends because I caught his attention, I saw the way he would look at me and I caught his attention... He started to gradually become my friend because he was interested in me... A month later he wanted me to text him... So we would have conversations and whatnot 2 months later he then confessed to me saying things like “I want to see where we go together..” and “you really captivated me and I wanted to kiss you for some reason...” I really can vibe with you..” etc. We then met up one time and we chilled and had a good time... The next time chilled he actually leaned in for a kiss... He would whisper in my ear saying “I don’t want you to leave me...” From that point on I thought we were “official” but he never metioned it as official. He would call me “babe” and “love” and “my love” and all that’s stuff... after 1 month and a half of me thinking we were “official” we had sex and it was my first time... We then kept getting it on... We would go out and hold my hand invite me to his house and stuff like that... Well just yesterday he told me that if would “talk” and I said yeah about and he told me how he wasn’t looking for nothing long term he was “too young” (we are 19-20) and I said oh and that that’s why I never brought anything up like that to begin with.. He then said “yeah but no doubt you’re an amazing person and I could see myself with you in a few years but I don’t wanna date anyone..” and I asked him, straight up if that meant we can’t talk anymore and he said “No, we can still talk I’m not saying that..” and then I didn’t respond and he said “I hope everything is alrighty between us..” I was upset because I really started to fall for this guys and when he said that it made me feel sad because he made me feel special and he wasn’t seeing anyone else but me... All I told him was “We’re all good ig...” I wonder, if possibly with him saying that rn, if we could possibly date still if I show him how I feel about him rn?. Or if he’s really meaning that he sees himself with me later on?. I’m so confused, lost and hurt.. This would be my second relationship in about 2 years and the first one really fucked me up bad emotionally and I’ve had my guard up but now, this other guy he’s the first person I’ve fallen for after the other one who I really loved as well... I’d really appreciate it girls, I don’t know who else to communicate this with too.. Im not to wrk on speaking my emotions out with anyone like “mom” or anything because she’d only see the bad sides of me or something...
