Good for you for hanging in there, but you said it....you don't believe there is a future, you just want there to be. If you don't believe it, it won't happen. He sounds withdrawn and not really putting in the effort to your relationship. You may love him but it's hurting you. Another thing I've learned is that you can't give someone a time frame to decide how they feel, that's kind of like giving them an ultimatum. Really, what I would do (and I'm not saying this is what you should do) is back off and start concentrating on my life and my friends, he will see that you actually don't need him and that you would be ok without him....part of him won't like that. He is probably so used to you being there that when your not, he will have a problem with that. Let him go for a while....If it's meant to be....it will be:)

 The best thing you can do is just tell him how you feel and what you want from him. That's all. Too many times a person in your position feels guilty for wanting to be treated better. And you feel unsure about them being able to give you what you want, and because you don't want to lose them... you just continue to put up and settle.
The truth is, you deserve to be treated better. You deserve to be loved. You deserve to be happy. Don't ever convince yourself that you don't deserve any of that. Go into your conversation with him with the mindset that you're not the lesser person in your relationship. Your relationship should be equal. Bottom line, tell him you NEED him to love you, need you, desire you, and care about you JUST as much as you do to him. If he can't commit to that, then it is on him. You are laying it all out there for him, so why should he be allowed to not do the same?
Keep your head up high, and KNOW what you deserve. Don't settle. :-)
