If a guy can’t handle just being friends with you I don’t think you need to associate with him personally Like even when I like someone romantically I still want to be friends with them regardless Just talk to people in places where you know people will share your interests, like clubs, cons, events, etc

Tell him exactly what you are thinking and tell him up front that it won’t lead to anything

Say something like hey friend when u approch them! That should make it clear right
