Need some worldly advice

Perhaps he just needs a friend. Be honest and tell him you just want to be friends but I think it is mean to just shut out someone because they are different.

yep honesty is the best policy in this case.

Be honest, direct and kind so that he doesn't feel totally rejected but he gets the message. And don't put it off. He needs to know now. Good luck. Let us know how it works out.

I would go with the honesty bit - you can't go wrong by being honest and letting him understand you prefer to have others along when you see him. If he takes it the wrong way then you'll know he wasn't for you... very simple

Sorry to hear you got into a mess like that. Well, like all the others said, be honest, but, be sweet and kind. Like Medusa said, kind, so that he doesn't feel totally rejected but he gets the message. Good Luck Hoping everything goes well!
