What do I do...? (Relationship)

I’ve been recently talking to this guy I met from Tinder, and I think things were going pretty well. But I felt like something was off and I told him that I just wanted to be friends. After that, he started ghosting me, and I eventually asked him why he’s been avoiding me. He told me what I said made things awkward, and that he was hurt by it because he called me baby names and such. He also told me that he’s become tired of reassuring me that he cares for me. I told him that it would probably be better for us to stop talking to each other. I thought I was doing fine without him, but now I’m starting to miss him, and I’m afraid that he could’ve became my FP.My friend helped me come to the decision of calling it quits. She told me that he sounds manipulative, and doesn’t care for me since he got so upset over me wanting to be friends with him. But maybe I could be the manipulative one? It just hurts so much now, and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. Should I go back to him or just never talk to him again?
