You can be supportive and a friend without being 'more than a friend.' People do it all the time. You just have to have the strength and know-how to draw boundaries. If you can't do that, or you think he won't respect those boundaries, then you need to distance yourself for your OWN good.

Have compassion, be a friend, be supportive... but that's it.
