Hello

I need an advice.

I am 21, and I am aromantic asexual. I do not want any romantic or sexual relationship, but i want emotional connections and friendships. The problem is, I don’t have many friends.

One of my closest friend is a 21 old guy, who as far as I could gather is not aromantic or asexual.

I have talked about my desire to be friends and nothing else, and he agrees: he does not want any relationship with anyone whatsoever and wants to be friends as well.

However, everyone tells me to be careful because he will fall in love with me. That makes me feel like a bad person that plays with peoples feelings. I don’t want to hurt anyone and i don’t know what I should do. Should I cut the ties just because the possibility of him falling for me?

Please help
