If you don't feel the same, then I wouldn't pursue this friendship unless you can state very early that you only care for him as a friend, and he is ok with that, and not only says he is ok with that, but shows he isn't trying to work on you to take it elsewhere.
If you are romantically attracted to him, are you ready to jump in again? Because there's no statis period going to be happening here...he has feelings for you, and no matter what he says he does have an agenda, even though he sounds like quite the gentleman in his approach and patience.
He wants a relationship. A romantic one. Do you?
You handled the father's day mess beautifully!
Do I find him attractive? Yes
Do I want to be in a relationship with him or anyone right now? No
Have I told him that? Yes
Should I trust that as a grown man if he says he's interested in reconnecting purely as friends that that's true?
I guess you're telling me that I should not be naïve and think that we can be "just friends" huh?
Sigh...
