Gay friend has a crush on me. Any advice?

I've known this guy since grade school, and I never really spoke with him that much, but today, he revealed that back in high school, he's had a huge crush on me, and is being very flirtatious and such............which is extremely awkward and embarrassing.

Don't get me wrong, I completely support LGBT rights and such, but I'm just not one of them myself.

He's a nice guy and all, but I just don't feel that way towards men, only towards women.

Anyone have any advice for me?

Strange that most of the advice is from females, but it's largely good advice. He's been open with you about this so you can bring up the topic without worrying about embarrassing or offending him. Tell him that you can be friends but there's no sexual interest so would he please not flirt. He may be disappointed but if he's a good guy, he'll honor your wishes.
