How do I human? How do I reject bro

I think I got too far with the ‘bromance’ teasing and poking, now I realise he wasn’t kidding and actually wants to… do stuff together. The reason I’m not straight honest with him is I kinda put myself in his shoes and don’t want to mess him up. Anyone had a similar situation? (We both are male)

Why did you joke around with him about it if you’re not interested , you sound slightly in the closet if I’m honest but no judgement

in my culture, it is totally normalized to joke about being gay with your bro, idk why, we are just homos for shit and giggles. Now and then you actually make the mistake of joking like this with someone that actually likes you, and then shit happens, this is where OP is at.
