Facebook: what just happened...?

[Fell]

I just friended this person I met this week. An hour or so later, I get an email saying he has confirmed it. I go on Facebook, and though it still notifies me that "... has accepted your friend request. Write on... timeline", my friend list and his page tell me that we're still not friends? The "add friend" button was still an option on his page, and he doesn't show up on my friends list. I know he hasn't blocked me because I can still search him. Should I friend him again or...?

What's going on?

he must have unfriend you and by unfriending you wont be blocked to search him
