Search Results: ideas for a guys birthday

It's a long story but I recently ran into an old guy friend and we went out a couple times and had a lot of fun, he even suggested taking a couple days off for my birthday (which is a month from now) and us going out.
He told me I was pretty and that how we ended things left him with more questions than answers and he likes to not think about it. Anyway, in person he's totally fun, especially the last time.
Over text though, he mostly replies with short answers and when I asked if he wanted to go with me to look at handguns since he has a lot and I don't know much about them, he said, "I might not be able to this week but maybe other weeks I may be able to help ya out" which seems weird, especially after how enthusiastic he seemed about us going out for my birthday. It was 100% his idea and he said that he wanted to like 3 times.
Some people said he might be avoiding me so he doesn't get hurt again and others said he's not interested.
I will add that I told him that I had a crush on him back then so I didn't know if I made him uncomfortable. He seemed surprised and said, "Did you really? Well now I feel like an *** "
Since he was acting weird when we texted, I texted him saying, "I'm gonna give you some space haha" I said haha to lighten it a little and he said "Haha wutevs" and seemed mad. He's never said "wutevs" to me before or spelled it like that. I told him I was leaving the ball in his court because I don't like being pushy and he said, "No you're good" I didn't reject him harshly on purpose. It's a long story but a girl that liked him confronted me when she knew he could hear
