I know it is difficult to think of, but I think he just wants to be friends with you.  \n\nWhatever the case, I think it is time you loosened the bonds between you two and that you use your energy on relationships with men who are serious about you in a sexual/intimate way, not just as a platonic friend.\n\nAnd by the way, remember, it is one thing to be gay and another to be bisexual.  From your question,  it is sort of obvious that you are not sure what this fellow considers himself.
