Sorry to be a naysayer
My opinion for what it’s worth – move on.
By all means be upfront with him about what you want, but be honest, you don’t just want to be friends.
Any “lets be friends” conversation will likely be interpreted as you wanting something more anyway.
Ask for what you really want and be ok with the answer. Yes or no
If you settle for maybe, “lets be friends” in all likelihood he is going to open and close this crack in the door over and over again and your worth more then that.
The end is in the beginning.
