The best solution is always the one that noone has the courage to do, myself included. Be blunt and ask what his feelings are. I'll be completely truthful, you didn't hurt him, he's just crushed because he feels like he let someone beat him to the punch. He's not mad at you, he's mad at himself, and avoiding you is his way of trying to forget his failure. If you really care for him, then in this situation if you swoop in you can make him feel happier and higher than he's ever been. Nothing's better than being saved when all hope is lost. However, if you're not serious, then you are going to end up burning him... bad. Give it some thought.
If you do like him, and all you say is true, you'll hook up. =) Successful couples are friends first and lovers second. If he's your best friend he'd probably be your best husband too.
Who I'm worried about is his poor girlfriend. Sounds like she's already been tossed and doesn't even know it yet.
EDIT: And then I just noticed graduation in your last post, which means you are still in high school. That probably means that your friend is in high school too. That all means that this could explode into a gigantic drama. Most high school peeps aren't mellowed out into their college phase yet. If you approach him, he might want leverege out of pride because he might not have the insight to realise that he's the one that's acting irrationally, in which case he'll be hanging all over his g/f in front of you for weeks trying to appear outwardly that he is t3h $h1t and doesn't need you, even though he does.
Man, I'm glad I'm out of high school. o_O
Good luck ICH =) Keep us posted.
