Please help! Feels like I have wasted everything!!

Feels like I have wasted everything!!! I (26F) was confused about a prospect (28M) a while ago as initially I didn't feel attracted to him.

For context - https://www.reddit.com/r/Arrangedmarriage/s/fMbOHKlHy1

Now we're speaking for 5 months now, and as I had to make a decision, I was not sure if it would be right to go ahead with him as I was not physically attracted to him though I really liked him every other way and was intellectually attracted to him.

So, as here and some of my friends also suggested, I checked with a few people to see how they feel about him and his looks, and I also tried flirting with him. Now, after all that I'm sure I was overthinking about spark and attraction, and now I have finally decided to say yes.

Now out of nowhere one of my friends (she has been a friend for 5-6 years now), went ahead and sent him a message on FB and told him how I felt about him. Now this morning he sent me a message asking about the same, he just asked if this was true and if there's a clarification and if I was "settling" for him. I'm clueless now what to say or how to clarify.

I knew some of my friends were also looking for prospects but couldn't imagine someone would do this. Please advise how to handle this.
