This is called the "honeymoon phase"
From life experience, it's a trap. Especially with the sobby ass back stories and shit.
I might be wrong, but it's better safe than sorry.
You guys can love the fuck out of each other, no reason to ruin the friendship with a exclusive relationship.
Just tell him straight up that you don't have the same feelings. If he gets butthurt, you dodged a bullet. If he takes it like a man (which he should if he supposedly been through a lot) then you good.
