Sounds like this went well for you. Now that it's out in the open, it may even dissipate naturally.
My guess is that he sounded perplexed when you said you didn't want to seem unprofessional because it is his job to worry about himself being professional. In this relationship, you are not the one who has to worry about crossing boundaries or being professional, because you are not the professional in this relationship (though you may be a professional in your job and so on). So maybe by being perplexed he really meant, why would you worry about that when it is my job? He may have meant it in a reassuring way, as if to say, don't worry, I will be the professional and you don't have to worry about those boundaries because I have it covered.
Congratulations on being honest.
