Confused

Hi, I’ve started talking to this boy about a week ago and he’s been pretty confusing. This guy is friends with a few of my other friends and I never met him until my friends birthday about a week ago. At the party we really hit it off and we’re talking almost strictly to each other the whole time. I than texted him on Snapchat that same night and We’ve been talking ever since. For future context he just got out of a year long relationship a few months ago and it ended pretty badly the girl he was with canceled plans for months and said some bad things in the end that made him pretty upset. Anyway we’ve been talking almost the whole week and everything was cool and then Sunday we hung out alone from like 5:30-11 everything went really well and we were mostly just talking the whole time he even invited me to do something this coming weekend. So then the next day he texts my friend asking if I wanted to be more than friends because he didn’t think he was ready, I was kinda confused where this was coming from because he has plenty of girl friends and never really asked this question idk. Then I find out he told my other friend that after I left when we hung out he said I reminded him of his ex and he started thinking of her and had a panic attack about it. I honestly really don’t know what to do he’s said to my friend that he thinks I’m cool and still wants to be my friend. I’m thinking about asking him about because I’m just confused on this whole thing but I don’t know. Do you think I should just move on or try to still hangout with him and stuff? Any advice?
