Mr "First Kiss" Leaves a comment

The guy I kissed left a comment today. I think it's important enough to warrant it's own post. It read:

I’ve been thinking a lot since I met The Virgin Student and I’ve realised that I cannot go all the way with her now without it looking like I’m only doing it for the prestige that would come with winning this contest. I think not sleeping with her would be a more caring gesture than going through with it. That makes it impossible for our relationship to go any further. That may sound harsh, but that’s how I feel.

I really don't know what to do. I feel a little hurt that he chose to write that publicly rather than tell me privately first. I feel very disappointed because I liked him a lot and he made me feel special. I know the fact that he won't sleep with me is supposed to show that he cares but at the moment I feel too disappointed about the part that says our relationship can go nowhere to really appreciate the gesture.
