cancer confusion should I stay or should I go.

I've been hanging out with this cancer guy for about a year and a few months. it's still kinda awkward cause it was mainly sexual but he said he likes hanging out with me even without the sex. I like him he's cool but I don't know if I'm attached because of lust or wat. he's really cool I'm highly attracted to him he makes me feel safe and warm when he knows I'm upset I try to do the same for him be he kinda stays to himself so I respect it. as a Leo woman I just try to please and respect space. at first it was all about him I wanted to be with him and I knew he knew but I feel or see he's not interested in that way. so I try to keep my distance we recent had a talk. I told him I wanted him he told me he didn't want to hurt me. so I'm trying my hardest to stay away but yet he's a cool guy so I don't want to ignore him. but recently all together this would be his 3rd time bringing another girl around while we hang out or he asks me to hang out .. we're mutual friends but it's awkward and I tense up I get somewat jealous but I hope it doesn't show. but I'm not going to fight for his attention cause he knows I'm loving so I keep my distance even more I chill with them to keep the vibes chill but it's retarted how he pulls that.. wat should I do with this one? should I just leave I told him I will never hurt him but I'm not trying to get hurt as well. so wat should I honestly do?

like why is he even doing that? when he knows how I'm feeling but will get "confused" when I get mad?
