A guy friend who has been hurt and stopped caring.

He's my good friend and I know he is a really person at heart. However, since he has been hurt badly before he thinks it is a good idea to put up 'walls' with others. He acts like he does not give a **** and he is carefree. He thinks it is better to just stay as little attached to one girl as possible. He is playing what I call ' a player'. It is sad to watch a close friend going through a hard time finding his true self. However, I know I cannot do anything to fix or change his thoughts even I really want to. I think the best thing is just let him open up to me and I will just listen. I told him I would wait until the day I will see he realises the kind person inside him. I told he I was sure it would happen one day and it just takes time. In the meantime, I am a bit scared that I would confuse my own feelings. Now I know that I am just worried for my close friend and I feel sad watching he suffers. However, I do not want end up thinking I might like him in the future. What shall I do?
