Confused about my first real relationship!

I'm completely new to this, however I really don't have anyone in my life who I can talk to about this and it's plaguing my mind almost every day.

So I'm 21, I've been straight the majority of my life until around the age of 16 when I started to have thoughts about a guy in my class, I never told the guy and thought nothing of it at the time, a few years later I started to experiment with a friend and realised that I liked guys just as much as I liked girls, and as such I started to venture outside of the box.

Then we get to September of this year, I met a guy that made me feel things I had never felt before, within the first week of chatting we had arranged to go out and get to know eachother face to face, we went for a lovely walk on the beach full of awkward glances at eachother followed by smiles, later that week we found ourselves in a text conversation at about 10pm, about half an hour later he had convinced me to go to his place, this is something I'd never do on a 2nd date however something about him made me feel safe going to his house, I got to his place and we sat on the sofa for a while, which followed by that awkward first hug, to cuddle, then the first kiss, and well... things continued and I ended up spending the night and the majority of the next day with him before returning home. After that night we met up several more times sometimes twice a week and we'd text most days, come the last week of September he suprised me with a weekend away for my 21st, we spent the weekend in a lovely hotel that couldn't of been cheap and I pretty much had the best birthday I think I've ever had.

Then we get to the problem, on the way home I started to get a little deep, telling him that I was having some pretty crazy feelings about him that I hadn't had before, his response wasn't all too supportive of those feelings and that I was being a little silly, and how there was plenty of time to talk about that kinda stuff later on. He dropped me off and I just had a gut feeling that something was off, about two weeks passed before we had met up again, although meeting up was amazing as it was any other time I still had those feelings on my mind, I said nothing and just enjoyed the moment.

About a week after the last time we met up we had planned to go see a film, however he didn't show up, I texted him and to my dismay I received a text back saying that he thinks we should call it a day on our 'relationship' this pretty much stuck a knife in my heart, his reasons were that he just didn't have the time with work and uni to be able to commit to me as much as he felt he should be, after a few texts back and forth we agreed to just take it steady until things settled down and he had more time.

Then we started to hit bumps, he restricted my access on Facebook so that I couldn't see any of his posts, this pretty much ment nothing to me as I never really looked at Facebook anyways, however it raised red lights to my friends but I still thought nothing of it. In the following weeks we really havn't spoke as much as we used too despite my heartbreak and desperate attempts to see him face to face and tell him how I'm feeling, we've spoke on the phone once since, my friends and family say that I'm being jerked around or perhaps he's cheating on me, but deep down I know that there is something between us, that his reasons are genuine, but with the constant doubts of my family and friends I'm not sure what to think.

This is my first ever real relationship, I fell head over heels for this guy, he's made me feel comfortable in my own skin, inspired me to do more with my life than what I was doing, as well as just feeling safe, like nothing could touch me, I'm not quite sure how I could cope if this is in fact his way of silently ending it. Please Help! :tears:
