Oh, damn. Present didn't work?

No, it did! But it seems like he has the same problem as me: he doesn't want to hurt me because he has a history with girlfriends going bad.

Well, insisting on it is pointless, so I'd recommend waiting for a while. That doesn't necessarily mean you're friend-zoned. Hey may not be ready to make the first step yet due to the said reasons, and needs to think about it. The most important thing is to keep trying, just slower than usual.

If you have common interests, be sure to make use of them.

Heh, I've waited basically my whole life. Guess I could wait a little longer XD

Patience is a virtue. Don't make the same mistakes I've made.
