At the end of the vacation he told me that he really liked me and kissed me. I told him that I really like him and he responded indifferently. We've been emailing each other and on occasion tells me that he misses me. He is always telling me how much he loves receiving and reading my emails and asked me not to stop writing to him. Other than that, he hasn't indicated any further romantic interest. After 4 months I confessed how deeply I had felt about him while on vacation and how embarrassed I was at his reaction. I told him I hoped that he wouldn't be uncomfortable and would write back. He did right away, asking me to keep writing to me and telling me how he loves reading them. He said that he wasn't embarrassed by my confession and that he loves being around people who make him feel so good about himself. Overall, nothing that said he still felt that way and wanted to see me again.Is there any hope for this as a relationship or should I accept that it was just a vacation thing and now we're friends?

 So, you met a man... vacationed with him for a week... when you got back you emailed him regularly for 4 months and you can't get a simple acknowledgement of the affection you've already shown him...
Being direct, I think it's time to give up on this one. After this much time, I would hope that he'd made suggestions about another vacation or simply coming to visit you (or vice-versa), but if all you're getting is a request to keep writing him (read as "feed my ego") then I think it's time for you to invest your time elsewhere. If you feel like testing this, start to become more aloof yourself (or simply unavailable) and see what happens. But, I suspect that not expecting much more than friendship would be the best you can hope for.
