Explore the topic for a while before you act on it. Are you in therapy? This is a great topic for therapy.
Ask yourself, what do I think my friend's expectations would be if I said yes to going out with him, and is that something I would consider? How would I feel if I did explore that route? How would he feel if I went out but tried to keep it non-sexual/non-romantic? How would I feel? If I go out with him, am I being realistic in thinking that I can keep it on my terms rather than on his? Am I not sure what my terms are?
I really suggest exploring the issues internally before risking a good friendship.
