Perhaps because of his previous negative experiences with long distance relationships he claims he doesn't want them any more, but if you two are really good friends and he gets attached to communication with you emotionally, all that can change. Also even if romance doesn't develop, you can still be good friends with him, losing a friend is never a good thing.. And finding new boyfriends won't happen for you anyways until you get over your crush on this guy, whether you keep talking to him or not. So just take a chance and see where it leads.. We all need to take risks in life sometimes in order to gain something nice and special. Talk to a counselor about it if you need some advice on how to make the relationship progress the way you hope it to.

Thank you for your response. Do you think it would be a good idea to ask him how exactly he feels about me? I really want to because the fact that he was the one to bring up a relationship has made me curious. I just really wonder if he feels as deeply for me as I do for him. But I'm kind of afraid that I'll be upset if he doesn't feel the same, or just get lulled into a false sense of hope if he does.
Also, I don't know if I really even WANT to get over the crush. Not completely, anyway. Is it possible to keep some place in my heart open to him while still pursuing other relationships?
