You are my friend. If you say no, whom can I share with?

People do like to start things with positive feelings and signs. But my first footsteps into this blog world took place in the moments of pain. But I still do not know if I am hurt because of something or nothing. I am quite optimistic that this is just a small trough in the wave and soon I stand on the crest.
Its 2 weeks since I know this guy "Y". To put it in short, we experienced an excellent chemistry. My crush on him is evident but what is more remarkable is our friendship. We have become good friends in a very short span. I never need to think while I talk to him (I speak my heart) and I never hesitate to argue with him, because he is my true friend and he is with me always.
I just told him that I am very optimistic that we can get into a relationship. He said he is not pessimistic but realistic. Earlier I thought that our 16year difference in ages is his reason for hesitation. But he claims he knows himself better and he does not have this romantic feeling for me but he is sure we will be good friends.
Then comes my real problem. He does not want me to discuss all these feelings I have. Come on, I have the intimacy to discuss any of my personal feelings with him and I anticipate a difficulty in censoring issues while talking to him. This has created a feeling of loneliness in me that there are no ears to hear my heart. Hence I kickstarted this venture on the blog arena so that I can shell out my thoughts. Hope it will be a great experience.
