Do I just feel attraction or lust?

TheNameDoesntMatter

There is this one guy (same age) that I started liking out of the sudden, we shared the same sport. We talked he told me I was pretty and one thing I messed up is telling him I had an ED (i had only known him for one year) he treated me the same it got to a time he hugged me so tight it made my day nothing much though we would hug eachother like that almost everyday. Take in account my and his immaturity. He was in a 1 week relationship with one of my friends pretty short and then he openly expressed how he didn't intend on being on another relationship (I know more than 1 person will tell me to take a hint but I just pushed it away) he said he would feel nervous around me he was nice. Background info I have been feeling lonely since my grandma died causing family problems and isolation from friends and social life, did I really like him or I wanted something to fill me up? It was going on well until he changed time of doing our sport he was more distant, he was getting used to getting along with the older more advanced part of the team. Then this girl came lets call her Ava (not the real name) she was a classmate from the previously mentioned friend that I had she invited him and me to attend a school activity (the guy is homeschooled and I am in another school) he meet her friends and he met Ava, sadly I couldnt go. Mind the fact that they only seen eachother 1 heck of a day and texted a bit and Ava went to send a box full of snacks and a love note via my friend. I felt you know upset and decided to try to forget him, he talked with a friend saying how she is ugly and he didn't want anything, my friend went to tell ava what he said and she cried. I have been ignoring him for the last month why does it seem he shows more affection to me once im trying to avoid him, he saw I improved in my sport he clapped for me cheered me on and kept nervously quiet as he wanted to talk to me but never did, and I feel like im doing something wrong , i miss him.
