When friendship reaches it's end

So, finally a curveball has been sent my direction, and I am praying for a positive outcome. However, another ball has been sent my way that I had not asked for.

I have a friend. One that had a crush on me, but I informed him of my significant other and whatnot, and thought I had put an end to it. However, even if I was single it would never ever work between us. He is far too religious. I mean, I believe in a higher power yes, but he believes anythign and everything a priest says and will sacrifice himself in the name of the lord. Honorable, in a way.... crazy too.

Anyway, I thought I had established the line between us. That he was a good friend. Maybe a best friend even.

As fate would have it, he misread me.

Last time we hung out, he wanted to "cuddle" which is fine in some cases, but I told him I would rather go out. I just was not comfortable with that.

Then we were IMing, and as I end my messages and voicemails I ended it with "goodbye love, kiss kiss." "love" being a nickname, and "kiss kiss" being my usual goodbye. He sent me back. "I want a real kiss."

I responded promptly with, "um....no."
He sent back, "Don't promise things you're not going to do." BOOM, BAM, WAM.... that was the line crossed right there. I sent back a thorough letter outlining our friendship, informing him that I was not going to do anything with him that would jeopordize my marriage, and "kiss kiss" is not a promise. I also asked that he not lose my trust, because he won't be able to get it back.

I think now, "kiss kiss" will be out of my "goodbye" from now on. Although, he was the only one in creation to take it personally.
