Once, he said he will not have to travel 5,000 miles just to be with someone, he is not moving elsewhere, and is not into cross-culture. For him a relationship is based on love and togetherness, thus, we do not have a relationship. I agreed with reservations. I feel that friendships can be nurtured into relationships even while apart and if you are meant for each other you will be together in time. Like most successful relationships.[/b][/quote]
When did he say this? People have ways to protect their emotions and if he had said this at the infancy of your relationship, it could be that it's only because he didn't have any strong feelings for you then. Three years is a long time to be involved with someone even if it's only "more than friends/not quite bf-gf". He must really like something about you to carry on with the long-distance friendship thing. You obviously like him too.
The question really is, what do you want? You do realize what it's going to cost you emotionally if you decide you'll keep hoping only to discover that no...he's not going to want you anymore than just friends?
