aunt honesty agony auntYes he does like you a lot more than a friend. I think you need to be clear to him that you only want friendship and nothing more. Put him straight and let him know that there is no chance that you and him will get together. Dont go back to his flat either as this might appear to him that you are wanting more than friendship as well. Be a friend to him but keep him at arms length. Try not to be alone with him maybe go out in groups. You say he doesnt have many friends so try and get him involved in your group of friends and see how that goes.

Yes he does want more.

It's up to you to not lead him on OP, so no more cuddles at all, even of he says he's okay with that and he doesn't want more, he'll just be lying and hoping you'll change your mind in the future.

No more cuddles, no flirting or anything like that. Make it clear your not interested by telling him but you have to back up your words with actions too or he'll still think there's hope. No more physical affection, if you want cuddles go to your girlfriends.
