An .Accidentally Mistake
I'm in a long distance relationship with someone that I'm truly in love with, at least I hope.
While I was at work I met someone new, we chatted the whole time we were working and he asked if I wanted to get dinner after we finished our shifts, which I said sure to. We got our food and we sat in his truck to eat, now I'm a cuddly person and I really thought that's all he wanted was to cuddle in his truck for a bit while/after we ate, but I was wrong about that.
*As a side note, I hadn't slept in 48 hours and was running on two Monster energy drinks so I was really tired and sleep deprived.*
At one point in time we were just cuddling when he basically asked if I wanted to go out with him, except he asked it in a way where it wasn't even a question and I have bad social skills in certain things because I never want to hurt anyone's feelings, along to go with being sleep deprived, I said 'yes' before I even processed what had happened. Now, I have to figure out how to tell him I have a boyfriend, or I was just thinking about saying that I have a certain rule for relationships (since I actually do.) I never dive straight into full on commitment in the beginning of a relationship, I'm always trying to figure out if I'd be able to date someone without a bunch of issues showing up in the middle of it. But, I want to keep him as a friend and I don't want to ruin that already. So...what is the best thing to do that doesn't hurt his feelings and I can keep him as a friend, but also gets the point across that I'm unsure about the relationship..? Opinions(good or bad) and experience alike are all welcomed and greatly appreciated.

You want the truth be known, or you want to create a certain outcome ?

Dear, you seem to be confused. You probably need to ask these questions to yourself first. Body language plays a big role in any type of relationship whether friendship or love. If you wish to keep him as a friend, then perhaps you need to be honest with him and tell him how you feel about this, before things get out of hand. As long as it doesn't mean a thing to you, then you probably should not mention it to your distant boyfriend and act normal as you should be.
Sometimes we over analyze things (like I normally do) and they end up being not as huge as they seemed.
I hope it turns out to be the way you hope it to be without any complications.

You don't need to tell him anything about your boyfriend if you think there is a possibility of dating him... For now I would just tell him you can't date him right now, but would like to continue being friends and see where it goes. Also, think about whether or not you actually want to be in a long distance relationship... no matter how much you love a person not seeing them/being with them physically can be hard.
