I have a male friend (more of a family friend) but we've become close friends recently. He has made it clear in the past that he really likes me but I've told him I do not feel the way. All has been fine. However, I was so bloody stupid last night and I feel so shit about it today.
We've been spending lots of time together recently and I have felt really close to him, I started to imagine a future with him and felt differently about him for the first time. Last night I asked if he wanted to come over for a takeaway and we ended up drinking (quite a bit!) and he ended up in my bed! I thought if I kiss him I can see if I do have feelings etc. However, one thing lead to another and I felt repulsed.
He's a really awkward person, and it was not a good experience. This morning, despite me being in work (from home) he wouldnt leave my house. He kept looking for jobs around my house to do. It was suffocating, I felt my skin crawling. So this 100% confirmed that I do not see him in this way.
I keep playing the events of last night and I am cringing but I feel absolutley awful that I've lead him on. He's messaged today saying he wishes he was with me and again it's making my skin crawl. I have huge hangxiety today and feel really shit about what happened - feel lots of guilt. He has very little relationship experience and I don't want to hurt him, especially because he's made it clear in the past that he's besotted with me (and everyone tells me).
I know i'm an idiot and I'm in the wrong but what do i say and do now?
