I have a friend with aspergers, who I met at an AS social group. He is a lovely, caring, kind and intelligent guy, but he has his difficulties too, including a tendancy to get paranoid and to misconstrue things.
Recently he has told me that he thinks I am beautiful, that he loves me and would like us to be together. I told him that I would just like to be friends - he was fine with this.
However, he now wants my landline phone number, but I don't want to give it to him. Reason: he had it once before (but lost the phone number) and kept on phoning me all the time and it really got me down. He tells me he won't do this again, but truth be told I don't trust him in this area. Also, I live with my parents and this complicates matters. I don't want to hurt his feelings. What should I do?
