My tinder experience

So far has been shit. I know tinder is more of a hook up site than a dating site but it's where I thought I'd start. I'm 23, never had a boyfriend and a virgin, and oh boy does it knock my confidence. I think about it everyday, I see others and put myself down. Tinder hasn't helped, everyone just looking for sex and I'm just looking for a good guy to maybe take mine...
So I've spoke to a few potientals. I get talking to someone I like or fancy and then it's just them, no one else matters I can't be interested in anyone else, my brain overthinks and I probably end up being to much. Add them on snapchat and it all goes down hill.
Anyway no one has caught my eye for a bit.
Someone popped up, a few years younger than me and said 'I don't usually go for girls older than me but I guess I could make an exception' cheeky thing he is but I gave him as much back. He then didn't reply for a few days but we had a joke with each other while getting to know one another. He has the same profession as me and it just works and I'm not overthinking it. He asked me for my Snapchat, (part where it all goes wrong) nothing changed we are even having two convos one on each.
Today he said he still wasn't sure what I wanted. He told me he'd joined tinder for the banter and see what happens I said the same really. But he asked again and he said he was there for a laugh and a bit more would be nice as it's been a while.

My heart kinda sunk, I have really enjoyed chatting to this guy, and since I said I'm looking for something a bit more but just seeing how things go he hasn't replied... idk what it is because he isn't the hunk I'd usually be attracted too, it just kinda works, and having the same profession is nice to we have something to talk about. He's a goofball like me... and I'm not overthinking or wanting to send him snaps every two mins trying to get his attention.

So I just wanted some advice to be honest. Idk what to do.
