Cancer fell for her Scorpio friend..

So I don't know how else to deal with this so maybe one of you guys can help.. My best friend is a scorpio male and we've been friends for a good while now. He admits all the time that I know him better than anybody and and he really cares about me. Of course we made a wrong turn and began fooling around (not full sex though). It really did complicate things as we remained friends so he would still talk to other girls and vise versa. It caused alot of jealousy to enter our friendship mainly on my part because he never wants to admit his feelings. Anytime anybody or myself would bring up a relationship or just us being more than friends he would always say that he didnt want to because he didnt want things to end badly and us not have a friendship anymore, which I completely understood. But one night we slept together and I told him that I couldnt continue to do this to myself because I loved him more than a friend but he said he felt the same way about me. He said he realized that he loved me too. I had to leave for school a few days later so we kinda left off there, but one day we were messaging eachother and he kept telling me that I was going to replace him because he left for Brazil for a year and I told him I could never replace him because I was inlove with him, something I thought he already knew but he said he didnt. Then he started telling me all this stuff about me being perfect for him but it was the wrong time. Being the cancer that I am I retreated into my shell and told him all that wasnt what I wanted I just wanted to get it off my chest and tried to change the subject. I really do have a problem with rejection. So we continue to skype and message eachother talking about who loves eachother more and things like that. Then things just stop. We stop talking and never contacted me and it really hurt my feelings. Then one day he makes a status saying " you watched how I treated all them, why would you put yourself in there shoes?" clearly talking about me. Now he's back to the whole "we need to stay friends" thing. And I just dont understand. There so much that I held back from him to keep our relationship good for him and I just feel like I cant let this one slide. I feel like he keeps manipulating me to keep me where he wants and I dont know how to stop it. Does he really care or does he just want to keep me hanging around?
