<human>: I went to homecoming with this guy last year. I have only talked to him a few times since then, normally just passing in the hallway and saying hello. We are both in the same club together and I would like to become better friends with him but I dont know how to do that without leading him on.

When he asked me to homecoming last year he had a crush on me and I said we were just going as friends. I know he still likes me now but I just want to be friends. I wish we could become better friends because I really dont have that many in the club im in but normally he just hangs out with a bunch of his guy friends and I feel as though I dont fit in with all of them.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
