Talking Stage Advice (What Should I Do)

Hello everyone I’m writing this story for comfort, advice and, maybe someone out there who relates to me.

I (F18) downloaded tinder about 2 weeks ago to put myself out there before I go to college. I get this DM from this guy let’s call him Gate. Gate is (20M) and lives 30 minutes away from me. He called me gorgeous asked me how my day was and then we exchanged numbers. Over the next few days He was extremely sweet, he would say things like “you’re so cute i’m going to kiss you” and “let me see you right now.” he just made me feel special. He texted me Good Morning every morning without fail and then we would talk through that almost like our daily routine.

Through these conversations i that he wants to go to the air force, he works at a store and he doesn’t really have that many friends. We share snapchat with each other because his “charger doesn’t work” and he proceeds to get a little freaky. For some context we talk about it a tad in our messages and I told him I'm a virgin with a purity ring. He seemed to respect that and he knew when to calm down on the freak talk.

We're on snapchat and he's now asking for pictures of me. Not sexual or anything, just to see me. I would send them, he would call me gorgeous, so as you can see same cycle, he is extremely sweet. He asked me one morning what I expected out of him. I said something small and casual, maybe dates, and he said "yeah, because I am going to the Air Force," and stuff like that, implying I won't get anything too serious out of him, which I knew.

Now to the main point of the story. He was sharing his location with me on snapchat and all of a sudden it stopped. It said he unfriended me in our messages, but for me, it said we are still friends. He didn't block me on imessage so I didn't see a problem, but I felt something was off. He told me he works a lot and every time we have attempted to go out, it didn't work, so when he didn't text me good morning, I thought he might have just worked late. I text him, and he's being really dry but still continuing the conversation he ask my "wyd" I say "scrolling on TikTok" and I then work up the courage to ask if he wants to call just to move forward yk? He doesn't reply for 7HRS then says "Nah" I proceed to say "It's okay!" and he says "I know" and "I never apologized" with 3 laughing emojis. My heart dropped because He's never been rude to me before, and to top it all off, he updated his Tinder profile a few hours before.

This is the first guy I ever talked to, and I feel so embarrassed. Was he being rude because he found someone else, or am I really just too much? I wanted to ask him why he was acting like that, but I can't find the energy to. However, I already told my mom and friends about him, and it's like, what am I supposed to do now, tell them? Like, sorry guys, he just blew me off and rejected me after acting like the sweetest guy on earth. Or maybe it was because he knew I wouldn't sleep with him, I just feel like shit, and I never want to talk to anyone again. Please give any sort of advice to make me feel better or understand this whole thing more.
