Since you started out as "just friends" and then the relationship changed into something more, it almost sounds like he has it in his head that it's kind of like "incest" -- that at first he saw you as a "sister figure" and now you both love each other. Perhaps he can't see being physical with you because he USED to think of you as a sister.
If that's the problem, he may need some counseling. It probably wouldn't hurt if you both went.
OR
It seems he wants to protect the friendship by NOT getting involved with you -- that he fears the friendship will die if the relationship doesn't work out. He treasures the friendship so much that this is the only way he knows how to protect it. I guess all you can do is reassure him that regardless of how the love relationship works out, you'll both still be friends.
Just my thoughts on the issue. I wish you the very best. Please take care of yourself. God bless. Hugs, Lee
