Just wanted to update on this. The friendship is turning into one I really enjoy. He remains mildly flirtatious, and I have to admit that the better I get to know him, the more I like him as a person and the more my mild attraction for him heats up. He's definitely a person who has layers upon layers to get to know, and I love that. He gives me all this weird, eclectic, fabulous music all the time, which I love, and the conversation is excellent. I really appreciate how honest he is about himself. He never tries to dress anything up to curry favor.

 

Now, I don't know if I'll ever pull him out of what so many here refer to as the "dreaded friend zone", but the more I get to know him, the more I want to.

If you don't have feelings for him then avoid the person

Not everyone will be OK with being "just friends". If he truly has developed strong feelings for you, there is no easy way to let him down. The best thing you can do is be honest, how he reacts is out of your control.

 

Something along the lines of:

 

"I enjoy being friends with you and I enjoy your company but I don't think we'd be a good match for each other" or something like that.

 

You basically need to snuff out the fire before it gets too big. Quickly and firmly.

 

Sorry, that may not have been what you wanted to hear, but it's really up to him after that. Good luck!

 

I know it's quite little late for me to answer your post. Yet, I want you to know that things happen for a reason. Whatever it may be it's under control. So just accept whatever his reactions would be if you tell him the truth.
