Help! I friendzoned the guy I like.?

Question

There is this boy and I have know him since the beginning of this school year and we just became really good friends. He started to like me and it was plainly obvious. We were snapchatting one night and all of a sudden he sent me a text saying, "I have to get something off my chest."
I just asked what and he sent me a message saying:

You know that I've liked you for a while, and I don't know if you like me in the same way.                 Basically what do you see me as right now. I think that of right now you need a close guy friend, and I'm more than happy to be just that, but I wanted to tell you.

I replied with:
                   I think you are very funny and nice and I enjoy spending time with you and appreciate you friendship, but honestly I'm not at that point yet and I would rather just have a really good guy friend.
He said:
          Sounds good! I just needed to know where I stand!

My problem was I did like him, but wasn't ready for a further relationship and we only talk about our relationship when we text and the day after this conversation happened he didn't even mention it when we were face to face. I really do like him and thought by teling him that he would just get the message that I am not ready yet and would like to get to know him more.
But, now that I look back I am really scared I friendzoned him and he will give up on us. How do I let him know I still like him? Do you think I friendzoned him? Any thought on the situation? We are both 17, sorry it's so long!

No, you didn't "friendzone" him. You simply told him that you weren't ready to be in a relationship, there isn't anything wrong with that. And if you want to let him know you still like him, be up front and honest with him. Say, "I really like you, I'm just not ready to be in a relationship. It isn't you, it's me." Guys like it when you're honest and straight-forward. Judging by his response, he doesn't sound like he was hurt by your response. I think you handled it just fine; he has no reason to feel like he's been "friendzoned."

talk to him and just say that you do like him as more then friends, but your just not sure if you want a relationship at the moment but in the future you might want one with him because you do like him as more then a friend

Call him and tell him that you really do like him but his message caught you off guard and weren&#x27;t sure of your feelings. But you&#x27;ve been thinking ever since and you realize that you&#x27;ve liked him all along. I hope this helps and I wish you both the best of luck. :)
