I need some advice!!

Lucy

Hello everyone! I have a really nice boyfriend who loves me and treats me right, the only bad thing is that we don’t have much time to spend together because I’m a medicine student and he’s a journalist. A couple of months ago I met this guy at a new course I’m receiving and he’s really nice. We got to know each other a bit and a friend of mine told me he likes me. I didn’t believe her until two days ago when I went out with him as friends to get dinner. He confessed that he finds me really attractive and beautiful. I just said thanks and nothing happened. He told me then that he wanted to be my friend but he’s afraid he’s gonna end up falling in love with me. I don’t wanna be mean with him, what should I do? Do you think can we be friends?
