I'd start dating again, honestly. If comes Christmas and he's ready for a relationship with you and you're still single, then go from there. No need to put your life on hold for 2 months for a "maybe." Or you could ask him if he meant ready to date you, or just someone, come December.

He's set himself xmas as the time he wants to be ready as a goal for himself he's a large guy and has managed to lose a lot of weight he lacks confidence and is very shy , I know everything he's said is true as I've seen proof

Why is he saying he's not ready for a relationship? To be honest, I think he's stringing you along while he sees what else is out there. It's not believable to me that he could say he expects to be ready by Christmas. What's going to have changed by then?

If I were you I'd stop contacting him and start looking for someone else. If he's been in regular contact for a while and still isn't sure, then I can't see him changing his mind.

celtic_tiger agony auntIn my own personal experience of a situation very similar to this... I'm afraid to say I fear you have been put in the friend zone.

When he says he isn't ready for a relationship, it generally means he isn't ready for a relationship with YOU.

The fact he is all pally and constantly in contact could just mean he likes the company/attention. If/when a woman comes along who he really falls for, you will be sidelined.

I may be reading it wrong. Don't put your hopes on this man, tread cautiously.
