Hmmm. Well. Take his answer seriously. Two things you can do from this point, you can either: date him lol Or: tell him you don’t feel the same way but would still like to be friends. I’ve been in these situations three times before. All the best <3
I kinda don't have any advice. I've never encountered a situation like this before. All I can say is, maybe try doing a long-distance relationship? Again, I'm 100% not someone to go to for relationship advice
