Re: jus friends
What ever you do like people have previously said,your friendship will never be the same no matter which course you take
However if you choose not to form a more than friends relationship then your wording etc needs to be sensitive...its seems that he really cares for men...put yourself in his shoes and see how you would feel..
and if your under i dunno 18 just say taht you're too young..if he still cares and loves/likes you he will be around
