Too much lurking

Homosexuality. Otherwise you really can't. You're expecting all of the emotional closeness of mutual attraction with none of the romantic feelings. That's ridiculous.

I kind of had a crush on him and wouldn't mind choosing only one option.
But it was too late to choose.

And now you can't have that level of emotional closeness as a result. Remember this the next time you hesitate.

I can't comprehend your post desu

But if I whined to him, he could've think I'm exploiting him for emotional support? And it can be really annoying.

If they are retarded, they can.
Ta-da!

Now you're just making shit up. He didn't step back from you because he thought you were exploiting him. He stepped back because people don't want to get so emotionally supportive with friends at all. Trust me, you're expecting too much from him.

He does not have a secret crush on you. He does not want to play pretend-boyfriend with you. He's just a guy. You're trying to get uncomfortably close. You may not be talking about feelings but you're still getting "too friendly."

I didn't do anything emotionally close at all in the end.
And without the infatuation mist, I see that what I perceived as "see, he is not pale at all!" was him blushing and that he dropped a couple of hints before.

Plus, he was the "as much emotional closeness as possible" person, no doubt that. He probably couldn't live without spilling everything he had in mind to his friends.

It should be possible to switch from friendship to romantic relationship, but how much emotional closeness it would take?
