My best advice: Politely remind him of what was already said anytime he makes another move. At the same time, keep him at a distance. I know it sounds cold/un-natural for ENFPs to cut off close friendships with people in general. Sometimes, it's necessary just to keep life simple/uncomplicated.

In my experiences, it's worse to prolong the friendship knowing that it's truly not 'platonic' once the other party has already declared interest. My best solution is to keep it real. Keep that person as an acquaintence. Be polite. Be firm. Avoid hanging out/anything personal.

I can't stand the thought of being friends with someone, knowing they have interest/pretending as though everything's cool, when all I'm doing is unintentionally leading them on by continuing the friendship because I don't wanna be mean.
