Am I tripping ? Long read... sorry

So I been talking to this guy and I am into him and he showed much interest in me as well. We been on dates and kissing smooching and no sex yet. I was trying to wait till he asked me to be his girlfriend. He calling me “love” “my love” and cute stuff like that.

A month into this he said he wants to be exclusive.... I had no problem with this and agreed.

He was in a 4 yr relationship and I believe she broke up with him.

Well I am slow to warming up to someone (I was in a abusive relationship ) but this guy broke down some walls and I felt comfortable getting close to him.

Well he hadn’t communicated w/ me in 20+ hours and he usually tells me he won’t talk to me for a while and we had plans for today. I texted him worried then a little annoyed because I felt ghosted.

Then he comes out with he wants to take a step back and that we are moving to fast. And that he felt like he was in a relationship.

I feel lead on and butt hurt. And I’m not sure what to do. He’s a good one and I don’t want to lose him. I think I got attached
