I agree too. Let him go. Be friends if you can, but stop all the fake romantic stuff. No holding hands or kissing or whatever. If you can't do that then you have to distance yourself from him completely until you can.

I hope you don't feel as though you have to be in a relationship, and that if it doesn't work with him, you will be without a relationship.

1. You DON'T have to be in a relationship to be happy.
2. You ARE valuable. So if you choose to be in a relationship, you would be wasting your time on someone that you don't want to be with when you could be "available".
