He even told me something about having thoughts and feelings towards me and I kind of freaked out because I was just overwhelmed and shocked. Recently I found out that he has a girlfriend. I'm happy for him and hope to remain friends. However he's kind of treating me differently. He's not as friendly and acts almost edgy, annoyed around me like he speaks to ppl but not me. Other times it's like he does and says things in an attempt to get my attention. I'm not sure why he's acting differently. Can someone help me? Did I say or do something wrong? Should I even cut off my friendship and spend less time with him? Help! :-)

 I would cut the friendship, friends don't treat each other like that.
If you see him around in social situations you can be polite, but I would seek him out or try and "hang" out again.

 No, never cut off a friendship. Friends are too hard to come by. He's probably feeling guilty for his "near miss" with developing a deeper friendship with you and is embarassed about his new relationship. Let him know how you feel about his new relationship and keep it positive. we guys carry around a ton of guilt about stuff we should know better about but need reassurance from our real friends how things are all good.
