Is this guy really interested in me(Yes Im gay)?

[Joshua]

At first me and the guy text everyday & talked every night. We were really falling for each other. So this past weekend I visited him. We got to know each other more, made out, cuddled & even did oral(ahem). Both of us did say we wanted to take things slow.

So this past week, hes been texting me EXTREMELY slow(Hours at a time & even a whole day later). Originally I was suppose to see him this weekend for things to be official but he switched up on me completely! He hanging w/ friends & im like wtf.

Im only appalled b/c we was outta school ALL week & he was w/ these same friends. Then he act like we cant talk on phone. Plus I sent him meaningful valentine day text & he sent me most generic message. I had to get him to text something better.

What should I do? I cant lie I fell for hin but looks like he stopped liking me. He still text me asking what im doing but really.. It looks like his friends who he with all the time more important & I understand. Am I setting myself up? Should I just forget about him?
I did ask him if he lost interest but he made a "lol joke about it". I really don't know.. I know he smoke weed with his friends a lot but he still a good, smart person...
Btw we are 17, go to different schools but he lives near. PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE b/c I am fairly new to guys and relationships.
