I told my best friend that i like him?

I told my best friend that I liked him, once when we got drunk he asked me if did I still have feelings over him and if I wanted to try something like being boyfriends, I got scared about our friendship and told him that yes, but probably he didn’t want to, I don’t want to force him to do something and I appreciate more our friendship than any posible relationship, so he stared at me and told me… ok i get it you know I like you and you’re my friend and I don’t want you being awkward with me, that’s why I didn’t place distances between us when you told me.
Did I do wrong telling him to don’t try anything , what should I do now, Cassie I still like him a lot!
