Sandman, I was going to make a joke about you being the "moral police," but (I think I'll still make it: Hey! it's the moral police!) the truth is I hold that title (I guess i'm more of a moral queen). Also I did text him today the truth that my feelings for him have not changed and I only want to be friends. I feel good about that even though I feel uneasy. Also I think text is fine.

And I appreciate you saying this: "once someone has the desire for something more in a relationship and is turned away from that idea it's always going to be hard to move on from that and just be friends. Not at all impossible but, hard for the person with the feelings so keep that in mind." I personally...it's funny...I didn't think of that. I guess because after he cooled down the first time, he was the one who seemed to so much want to be friends. Also perhaps I was not being very empathic, like perhaps I was just seeing it from my side. Anyway, I'm glad I said what I said to him.
