Maybe you should bring it out in the open and say that this friendship is bringing up some conflicting feelings for you, etc. Maybe you should both seek consultation on this from a pro who deals with these kinds of issues.
Personally, I think it is the kind of conflicts you are weighing (very thoughtfully) that really point out why strict boundaries are so important in patient-therapist relationships--ie, take the burden off the patient of determining what is appropriate and what is not.
