Be his friend, but date other men. Find someone who wants to be in a relationship. Good luck.

For now I would say just be friends, and then see what the future holds for the two of you.

In time as your friendship grows he may feel more like being your boyfriend, but you cannot rush the progress of love or a realtionship, to do so will drive him away further from you....in the meantime leave yourself open enough to make other male friends. Friendship is always the basis for romantic love, without it, you really have a house of sand.
Don't be in such a hurry for a romantic relationship, they are work, and you never know someone else may be ready for love and like you more than this fellow does anyway.

You cannot control how another person thinks or feels unfortunately. If you really think there is a possibility of a relationship then stick around as he may change his mind when he is older and has 'played the field' a little. He may miss what he had with you! But dont put your life on hold waiting for him to change his mind - he may never change his mind and in the meantime you will be closing yourself off from opportunities to be with someone who wants to be with you 100%.
