I’m pretty sure my friend of 7 years is in love with me, and it makes me so uncomfortable? And even when I try to avoid him we run into each other?

I have this friend of 7 years. He’s had a crush on every girl he’s ever been friends with. When we were in high school I was cringe worthy teenager so he thought I was lame. We ended up going to the same University (where I had a glow up and now guys were starting to pay attention to me). Suddenly his behaviour changed. Now this guy is a huge introvert and he struggles to make conversation, so I came up with 20 questions basically so he had a backup when he felt too awkward to start a conversation. But he only ever usually asks me sexual questions. And he went through something horrible recently and when I was consoling him over the phone, he said we should get together and platonically cuddle (which made me uncomfortable- didn’t do it) He often touches me randomly without permission and when I tell him that he can’t do that he acts like I’m making a big deal. The last time I saw him was with another friend but he kept excluding me from the conversation and only turned to me when the topic was gossip or rating guys (which I kept saying I don’t do, wtf rates anyone anymore) - I found that quite insulting and now I feel nauseous every time I even think of him or see him. Everyone says he’s such a sweet, harmless, good guy and they keep asking me to give him a chance but I feel like crying every time people do this. I really want to cut him out of my life and never look back but everyone would make me feel bad about it because he’s such a passive person.
