i have a problem my best friend that I usually see as my everything like bestie Walk up to me and asked if I had a boyfriend and I said no and he told me that he has fallen for me at the moment I felt like crying because I didn't expect it and he gave me time to think about being his girlfriend but that time I was scared though I have feeling for him but I refuse due to my fears and unfortunately for both of us we went to same church and that period we are to go to camp for three days though I was scared I manage to go with him and others but when we got there he always comes to my department to eat and chart with me but I was not willing to tell him no because it will cause him pains but I have to gather courage to tell him so after telling him I cannot be in a relationship with him at that age he was very annoyed and wept bitterly, I also have feeling for him but it was a public camp and he likes being close to me at times he tries to hug me but I refuse to, I'm happy now that he has moved on with his life but I'm beginning to feel bad because since then I have lost my bestie and I'm scared to fall in love again please advise me on what to do
