I will be the first to admit, it has been a long time since I have been a single girl, but with my experience I have gained a wisdom through observation and conversation with my best friend over the years. I am by no means an expert!
I think what is happening here, is he is picking up on your intense feelings and you are scaring him. Not sure what his exact triggers, or the situation or either one of your personality irl in all honesty, but men are strange creatures.
You are going to have to try double time to tone down the looks, talk, whatever it may be that makes him feel like you are clinging, thus making him push away.
I say, let him go. Enjoy being the single girl you set out to be. If you still feel something once reunited afterwards, you have all the time in the world to continue getting to know one another.
Enjoy being friends, don't push for painful situations (the cuddling, inches from each others faces) if he wants to, but says he thinks it is a bad idea, say something goofy like "You are probably right, plus I need to brush my teeth anyway" to break the tension. Keep it light and casual, make him keep coming back wanting more. They love witty/goofy women who are smart with a sense of values they stick to.
It works the same way as how mysterious, play it cool type of men drive women wild. Good luck.
