One of the best things to learn in this life, especially as you grow older, is that there is very very little in this life that you must actually do, most things it's literally up to you if you feel like it or not.

​

sounds like you're not feeling it, and that's 100% normal. (drunk feelings are not the same as sober feelings)When you're ready you'll know it and until you are no one can say otherwise. I personally would just tell this guy the truth, you just are not ready for such things, in the future that will likely change but for now, 'let's just be friends'

if homeboy is as great as people say and all that, then he'll be more than happy to be friends cause for a lot, that's how great relationships start.

take it slow, you're young and there so much ahead of you.
