Why is this guy so confusing?

So there’s this guy who found out I liked him. His response was if you want to make it a thing we can and talked about taking it slow. But if I’m being honest “technically we’re only friends”. So why would he feel the need to buy me a souvenir from his vacation…especially when he didn’t give other people he considered friends one too.(we have mutual friends he cares about too) I find it weird because before he knew I liked him. It most likely would have been different. I even told him he didn’t have to and keep saying I’m still getting you something anyways. He wanted to hang out with me immediately after he got home from his vacation but it was going to be late. So I told him we can just hang out another time. Which we did and he ended up giving me the gift he got for me.(also paid for everything we did that day when we hung out) After that hang out a few days later he asked me about hanging on July 4th. Which is a while away. But at the same time he didn’t say he liked me back or even told me about his feelings. So I’m just being friends with him and keeping my options open to talk/hang with other people.

there’s a lot more to the story but I can’t tell every single detail because we’ll be here forever.
