I was crying, and he then started crying and said "I love you, you're a beautiful girl" He got really emotional over me. I was a little shocked.
Do his feelings really go that deep?
Probably. Does he know you have a boyfriend? Also, how do you feel about him? Does it feel like you might fall?
I would be a bit concerned about him wanting to protect you. Maybe tell him something like this: "Thank you for having my back with these boys. Really it's not that big of a problem and I can mostly handle it myself. Before stepping in, please let me try to take care of it. If I need your help, I will let you know." He'll probably be pleased with that if not flattered.
