Am I making the right choice

[EMY711]

I was intimate with a friend I had feelings for one night. We recently talked about our feelings for each other and due to circumstances in his past life he ins't ready for a relationship with anyone. He wants to meet people and establish friendships because right now he doesn't have any. He stated he has feelings for me and doesn't want me out of his life. He wants to build a friendship with the next person he plans to be in a relationship with because he wants to get to know the person for who they are before becoming intimate. He apologized and confessed he didn't want to take things further with me that one night because he doesn't want to hurt me if things weren't to work out in the long run. We have hung out after the conversation and have done well but I the last two times, I had expectations that maybe something will work out. So I find myself getting upset with him. He tells me it frustrates him and he gets upset that i'm upset and doesn't like seeing me that way. He asked what he can do to help and I told him I can't talk to him anymore until my feelings go away. I feel as if Im driving him away from my emotions and I do want a friendship in the long run because I value that. Im more worried by my emotions but I can't help but express them.

 

Any one from experience could give me advice I'd appreciate it. I don't know what I should do right now. I know he is attracted to me and cares about me a lot but do you think expressing myself hurts the attraction he had or any potential of being together in the future?

Should I keep my distance, move on with my life without texting and if our friendship re-kindles then let it be? And if we are meant to be in a relationship it will happen.

Any help would be appreciated.

He doesn't want to date you.

 

Go no contact and just leave it be, keeping seeing him will only create the same feelings over and over and over. That's pointless energy used on someone who isn't interested.
