How much will it hurt him? (Guys)?

My "not" boyfriend is probably the sweetest guy on the earth. We aren't "together" because he has a lot of crap in his life and...well, actually, I think he's just making complications out of nothing. We don't kiss or anything like that, but he's always holding my hand and wrapping his arms around me and kissing me on the forehead and...just being sweet. But it's getting old. It's like he expects me to just follow his lead and not expect to be anything but "his". Except not. If you know what I mean. I still love him (not like THAT, but....still) and I don't want to hurt him, but I just need him to back off and figure things out. I want to tell him this but..how much will it hurt him? He's really loyal and he doesn't bounce back very quickly from heartbreak. Help?

    Tell him you want a relationship, and whatever his answer is, go by it. He needs to sort things out on his own...

    If he's a good friend, I think you can and should be honest with each other. Ask him how he sees your relationship, and tell him what's working / not working for you. It sounds like he has a lot to straighten out in his life, and you can't do it for him. He might be upset, but in the long run, it would be better for both of you if you had a heart-to-heart with him before you went off and got involved with someone else.
