Who wants to tell him? I can't bear the responsibility

Option 1: Move on and have a friend (possibly).

Option 2: Pursue more than a friendship and lose the friend.

There is no Option 3. Don’t think, “well, maybe she’ll change her mind if I pressure her” she won’t. Or “maybe if I pretend I don’t want more, she’ll change her mind eventually” she won’t.

The truth of the matter is, she’s made up her mind. She may even be acting like she wants to maintain the friendship (Option 1) right now, when she actually just wants distance.

The best thing you can do is say “Hey, I understand things are awkward, let’s just go ahead and accept what happened, but remain friends.” then give her space. She probably needs a few days to figure out her feelings and doesn’t need your input.

Man.... Im sorry bud but.... Let it go move on

If you have feelings, go on and say that you have feelings. Staying as a friend will only cause you harm.
