I have a friend who already, in a way, put me through a lot. We were best friends, then dated for a month, broke up because he didn't listen to me, were friends, then stopped talking because(now, since he didn't tell me why before and just left) he wanted to work on himself to be better in our friendship, we got aquatinted again about four months later, then became friends, then became best friends. He keeps acting romantic to me. He keeps kissing my forehead, cheek, holding my face in his hands, cuddling with me in the grass, kissing my hand, holding my waist, etc. I physically can't get in another relationship with him because my mother already forbade me, and I don't want to put myself out on the line when he didn't listen before. I hope he doesn't genuinely see me romantically anymore, I want to be in a relationship but I'm afraid of being hurt like that again. I don't know what to do, I'm afraid to tell him. Pride fest is coming up and he wants to act like lovers. I'm worried.
