Well, me being up front about it has shot this in the foot. Not that I'm completely surprised...
So it was more just a temporary romantic admirer. Still a definite wake up call. Ready or not apparently it's time for me to start seriously thinking about my romantic future.
He DOES seem to be interested in being literally just another friend though, so I suppose there's still a chance, but meh.
I still think being totally up front with it was the best way to go. I'd've hated myself for hiding it and being sneaky about it if I'd gone that way. Especially with how quickly he was open to the idea of just being friends... He's obviously not totally against it altogether and following the suggestions on a different site while well meaning would only have confused him or just made me even more attractive for my "openness" and "forward thinking".
The suggestions there would basically have had me lead him on for a little while but pushing towards LGBT openness. Going to places that are openly LGBT friendly for example.
