I AM SO CONFUSED

Some of you may remember my post from last week asking if one of my guy friend's (let's call him P) maybe had romantic feelings for me, and the general consensus was that yes he did at least have romantic intentions but to just see how it goes. Well, here's an update, and I'm just confused and partly rambling. P asked me to get breakfast earlier this week on Tuesday (we had gotten dinner and ice cream last week, too) and we went, and it was good, and then P said that this weekend we should go to a nearby go kart place together on Saturday night, if he gets off work on time, but P would text me on Saturday. Now, if you had asked me on Tuesday, I would have told you I was 99% sure P liked me. Like, go kart together Saturday night? Yes he likes me. But then last night, we hung out with some of P's other friends, and ofc I felt a little awk/nervous because they all knew each other really well and I didn't, but I feel like after a few minutes, the nervousness went away and we were all joking and laughing, but I kinda felt like P was keeping a "distance" from me, if that makes sense. Idk maybe it was in my head but he wasn't like... with me, if that makes sense, which I felt like he should've been since I was all of a sudden with all of his friends I'd only met once before. We drove together and when he dropped me off at like 2AM it was deffo tired night vibes, and so afterwards i texted him and said thanks for inviting me that was so fun, and he didn't respond until today. In fact, he didn't even acknowledge my text and just said "Hey, I have a long shift tonight and won't be able to see a movie tonight. I'm super sorry" which like... is fine but I'm just confused now. Does P like me or is he suddenly like... no. Earlier this week he was telling me he was excited to see me and enjoys hanging out with me and that I am easy to talk to, but now I can't tell if maybe the fact that he's never had a girlfriend or interacted with girls much in high school is making me feel like "overwhelming" or making him nervous, or if he's just not interested. I can't tell and I kind of really like him so I'm just trying to decide if its friends vibes or not so I don't misconstrue our hangouts anymore. I plan on just waiting until Saturday and seeing if we end up going to go karts, as that will be kind of indicative ,but I was just wondering if I could get a male's perspective on all this or just any perspective, because as a 20F I obvs will think abou this obsessively. LOLL sorry for the long post and thanks in advance
