It sounds to me like you already know what to do...

I do believe and this is just my personal opinion, based on my personal experience...that you should lay low for awhile...maybe you should start dating other men to kinda take the pressure from wanting to be with this man soo badly...

He's already told you that he's not looking to take your friendship to the next level...now in todays day and age, when two adults date...there is usually sex involved...
Do you want to be treated like his concubine??

It probably wont do any good to give him any ultimatiums either...try to remain calm and cool...please dont loose your cool with him behind this...

Ignore a few of his phone calls...to only return them hours or days later...tell him NO when he asks you out a few times...

You dont have to tell him why...
If in fact, he IS wanting anything more serious with you, then your backing off well make him step up...because he cant stand the thought of another man making you happy...because thats what he wants to do!!

I do hope that my advice helps you in some way or another...remember that life is like one big experiement...you find something that works for you...keep at it...and never ever forget that men love a chase....make him step his game up...make him show YOU that he's worthy to be with YOU and NOT the other way around.
