Welcome to the forums!
Honestly, he might not really feel that he knows you yet. Is it possible to have a casual conversation with him? His feelings are likely to develop after he starts to know you and learn about what you like, etc.
Actually, the future is not set in stone. A lot depends on the path that you choose to take. Once you have had the opportunity to get to know him better you will begin to sense if you are really connecting and would want it to develop into a long term relationship.
