I don't want to get trapped in the friend zone.

So I met this guy online and we talked for about a day before I asked him to hangout and see a movie. The 1st time we hung out he bought our movie tickets online and he almost paid for dinner but I felt bad and paid half the bill. That first night we talked liked we knew each other for a long time. He goes on and tells me that he shouldn't even start a relationship with anyone because he recently got out of a 6yr relationship. (I believe that was August of 2015.)

After we met about 5 mins* after he texts me saying "I had a great time hanging out and sorry if that was an awkward goodbye, I can be awkward sometimes" (something along those lines.) He texted me 1st the next day and if I don't text him, he'll eventually text me. So we talk all week, I don't see him that following Friday, but I saw him this past Friday hung out at the pool had dinner.

While we were at the pool, he told me that him and ex talk on occasions. And that his ex told him that they are falling out because they have been separated for a long time. His ex lives in Australia now I think and I don't know for how long either or if permanent.

I really like him. Like the 1st guy I truly do like a lot where I can't stop thinking about him. I don't want to get stuck in the friend zone. But I don't know what to do!

Any advice that could help me on what the right thing to do is?
