Leo Man - Help

Last week it was my friends bday. We have been friends over 20 yrs, we have always been attached to other people. At the end of the night we started talking, then flirting. He was playing with my hair, then we were holding hands, then kissing. By the way we are both 39/40. Anyway, I am coming back to town and he texted me and said he was thinking... and we should meet for dinner or something and chat about last Saturday. I said sounds good. I asked a good chat or bad chat. He said a chat about being on the same page.
Still a little nervous. Can any leo's give me some insight.??
Not sure what to expect.

When a leo man wants to talk like that.. Is it good or bad?
I really do like him.

Even if you'd be with this guy for a number of years, it's never guarantee. See it as 50/50. Either take it see for yourself or leave it.

Well.. We did end up talking and he said that he wasn't at a point for a relatiohship but didn't want me to disappear. He also kept saying he wasn't sure if he was making a mistake by making this choice.
It was like he was fighting with himself. You could see the conflict on his face.
So now I feel sad.
What do I do next?

Update:
So its been a week since I heard from my Leo or he from me.
I texted him about watching a movie he reccomended to me. Told him I had just finished it and it was really good. He replied "Its Awesome". I didnt text anymore.
I don't understand. He said he wanted to take a step back but didn't NOT to want talk anymore.
It is as if he has fallen off the grid. Nothing on Facebook, and a short response to me.
Maybe some of you great Leo's can shed some light on this behavior.
And what do I do next?
