He decided to talk to someone who we both know, and told them he isn't interested in women at all, and that he was worried he'd have to turn me down. I feel like my heart is shattered. I feel horrible, and I can't bring myself to talk to him. Is there anyway I can continue to be his friend at least and keep my feelings out of it? Or should I just stop talking to him? I'd really like to continue to talk to him, though it's kind of awkward.

I think you need to distance yourself from him until you get over any romantic feelings you have for him. If you don't then you are going to end up just hurting and torturing yourself. You may want him as a friend, but your heart wants more than that. You need to give yourself some time.

i would say keep talking to him and if it still feels awkward in a few weeks then look for other men he isnt the only one remember

That was a way of getting the message to you indirectly.
This may mean he's gay. You can remain his friend, and eventually your feelings will realize falling in-love with a guy who isn't going to reciprocate is wasting your time.
Back-off and get your feelings under-control. Don't try to be friends until you can keep your romantic feelings out of it.
You're pressuring him to like you the way he doesn't. That's awkward and will only frustrate you.
