Honestly? It sounds like he likes you as a friend and not anything more. Like you stated, if he wants something, he will say so. Trust that and stop overanalyzing how he interacts with you. It's obvious that he is trying not to hurt you, since he is giving you vague reasons as to why he doesn't want to be in a relationship with you. I would try to find a way to stop obsessing about him and move on. Are you in therapy? If not, find a therapist now! Cut off all contact with him, while you get your life together. You will not be able to move on, as long as you keep in contact with him. Save your dignity as well, before he just blocks you again. In time, you will find someone who truly wants to be with you.
