Caught feelings

This is more of a rant but I still wanted to know if I’m doing the right thing

Basically I started catching feelings for a friend of mine
He’s older than me and he’ll soon leave for clg (a year of difference)

We pretty much got drunk together a lot and spent a lotta time with each other cause well summer break and we both didn’t really have a lot to do

While getting drunk we were pretty touchy with each other
And honestly i wouldn’t consider this to be friends at all and we spent a lot of time toegther when we were sober too
But after our last drunk sessions he’s stopped texting me and just ghosted me all together
And I thought we had something but yeah 🙁
And I recently found out he was in a situationship but it ended like a week before we started hanging out but he’s also started talking to her now
So yeah I basically am trying to distance myself from him after I found this out cause it’s just making me really sad and idk how else I can cope with it
Although he has been a really nice and respectful friend to me

Context:touchy like in being cuddly and idk *touchy?
