How to stop liking a friend?

cyeraahh
Okay so there’s this guy that I’ve been friends with for about 6 months. When we first started talking, he liked me, he would flirt openly and etc. but He realized for a certain reason, it wasn’t right for him to continue to flirt with me. I won't lie, I didn’t like him how he liked me at first, cause im not the type that likes someone quickly, i got to get to know you first. With that being said, like a month ago, I realized i liked him and over time its just getting stronger and stronger up into the point of burdening me with how to handle this! I know he still likes me on some level cause it shows but he doesn’t act on it like he use to. I wanna be his friend, i dont wanna cut him off or anything… i know that would sadden him sigh 🙁. i feel like if i express myself to him it might make things ackward between us… so yeah, im fustrated. I've tried creating some space, but it doesn't help, it just makes me wanna be around him more! its eating at me!! any advice?

Yess I completely agree! Cause I truthfully don’t see us benefiting from it either way. Its just an unnecessary burden but crushes comes and goes and we definitely will find someone who we can crush on and actually be able to take it to the next level
