Amie,
This is a tough question because there are no verses that directly talk about girls having a friendship with guys, but there are biblical principles about relationships.
It sounds like you are a bit nervous about being his friend and I get the feeling from your question that you might see (or even want) the friendship to head deeper in the future. I suggest praying for the Lord to show you if there is a future with this guy.
Being friends with a guy has the danger of turning into fornication. So it's wise not to find yourself alone together - always be around other people. Anything you say or how you act can lead him to believe there may be more than a friendship, so be straight forward and honest. Talk to him like you would any other friend. Males are many times consumed by their job. Show interest in that. Talk about the things of God. I'm assuming he's a Christian. If he's not, you are in more spiritual danger than you realize. Carefully think about if it's worth it.
You will not ruin the friendship if you are honest and hold to your convictions. If anything, it will increase the friendship bond. Some of the best marriages started out with a friendship. My husband and I were friends for 8 years before we got married. Since then we have gone through a lot that could have destroyed us if it weren't for that friendship foundation with each other and of course the Lord.
Really seek the Lord and don't walk the line of sin just to save a friendship. If you become uncomfortable, WALK AWAY. It's better to walk away than to sin against God. Because in the end, you will be the one who loses.
