Did he count as a boyfriend?

This is the dumbest question ever but I'm hoping I'll get the response I'm looking for so I don't feel like an idjut. KAY?

So, a month and I half ago my best guy friend asked me out and I said yes, I'm not allowed to actually go on dates so we just immediately called ourself boyfriend and girlfriend. Dumb I know. Now, I'm wondering because, in the two and a half weeks we 'dated', we literally saw each other for about an hour one day, then the rest if the relationship was by text, not calling not skyping, solely text. I broke up with him two and a half weeks later because we fought too much and it strained out friendship and it was mutual, but I honestly don't want to count him as a boyfriend because I don't find it to be a real relationship. I was just wondering, do you think that actually counts as a boyfriend because I'm really stupid and I'd just like to know if I can just brush it behind my shoulder or
If I have to embrace the fact that that was my first boyfriend
