<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

So, for the past month, I've been seeing "Drake" (25m). Things were going great. We met through a mutual friend, and since he got my number, we haven't stopped talking. He's sweet and smart. He's a super busy guy who goes to school, and works, and plays in a band 5 nights a week, but he still made time to see me 3 or 4 times a week. He wasn't pushing for anything too fast (waited until like our 4th date to kiss me) and I was starting to think like, yeah, hey, this is someone I could be with who wouldn't make me want to stab myself in the gut.

About a week ago, after a particularly nice afternoon alone (We both live with our parents right now as he's in school and i just graduated so privacy isn't always a thing) I texted him something along the lines of: "hey, I just wanted to be honest about something. I don't sleep with anyone I'm not in a relationship with." I just didn't want him to have any false expectations about where things were heading. He said he understood.

We had plans for Saturday night, and he sent me a quick text asking to call him when I got the chance. We played phone tag for a couple hours before he called me. He told me flat out he just wants to be friends, but he totally still wants to hang out that night and he wants to still be able to check in on me. (I have a recent knee injury that he's been really sweet about helping me tend to). I told him no thanks, I didn't want to go out that night anymore and we hung up.

So basically reddit, what the hell. Did I fuck up by saying the word "relationship?" I put off even bringing it up because I was afraid he'd think I wanted to date immediately when I LOVED taking things at a turtle's pace. There were just no warning signs about this whatsoever. I have no idea what's going on.
<bot>: I said the word "relationship" after a month and the guy I was dating lowkey headed for the hills.
