Can a guy force a girl to be friendzoned?

He sexually flirted for weeks w me and then said he has feelings for someone else and he's dealing w a lot rn so not fair to me and to be just friends huh?

But then i said no will be too painful to be ur friend and he keeps trying to be my friend? What why does he want to be my friend?
