Flirt with his friends, hang out with big groups of guys (preferably his friends), get a boyfriend
I don't think that would be a good idea do you really want to expose some one that young to something as disturbing as that?
He most likely knew you liked him and didn't want to hurt you, but that fact is usually only true if you were friends before hand. And if not then he obviously doesnt know what he wants
Depends on what your parents think about it, if they go for it then it may not be a bad thing
