I like (love) him and my crush says he likes me, but he's not ready to date yet because of his past relationship. What should I do?

I had a little quarrel this past weekend over text with a guy who I've been messaging for about 2 months. I'm 22 and he's 21 and we're in college. We message each other quite often, even til 1 am, at times. I started developing feelings for him, which I ended up falling for him. I'd message him about my troubles and he'd tell me about his. I couldn't stop thinking about him, no matter what I did. So I messaged my friend and confessed about it, the same day I was messaging him and soon confessed to him. But he didn't see it til the next day, but didn't message back. He found out through her, that same night! Although she has a boyfriend, invited him out to drink with her and her friends. And she was drinking too much and it slipped out. She said he reacted as if he somehow knew and said that he figured.

She messaged me about it the next day and told me everything and apologized. I was so upset, I was in disbelief. But I forgave her. I didn't know who to be upset with, with her because she told or him because he didn't tell the whole truth. Me in a manic state, I message him this long message talking about how much I wish I never asked him out and how he hurt me and didn't tell me the whole truth and blah blah. My feelings were valid at that time, not knowing everything. The next day, he messaged me saying how not to accuse him and how it pisses him off thinking I lied to him. I didn't want to message him, but messaged him a couple hrs later and we had a long conversation. I apologized for accusing him, since he was telling the truth. But I asked why he agreed to go out with me in the beginning if he wasn't ready to date? He replied it's because he likes me but how he isn't ready for a relationship. He wanted to go out that night and discuss it, but I told him I was sick and said that next week would be better. He said we'll work something out. I told him to message me if he ever wanted to talk and how I'm here for him, but he hasn't message me since Monday. How come?

I like (love) him and my crush says he likes me, but he's not ready to date yet because of his past relationship. What should I do?
