I am very close friends with this guy. He always wants to hang out with me, phones me several times per day, emails me, texts me, we are all time together during the weekends and we can talk about everything for hours.
When we first met there was just a physical attraction, but we did not start knowing each other until we stopped having sex together. This happened because one night his ex came to visit him, they slept together and then he decided to stop dating me because he was confused and did not want to hurt me. This was several months ago but since then he has never stopped being in touch with me.
More recently he came once almost crying saying he could not sleep because he had sex with the ex again and was not feeling well. He said he wanted me to know about it and that he was sorry, although he did not know why he was feeling the need to tell me that.
I told him I like him a lot and that maybe it would be better to stop seeing each other for a while. He says he is not ready for a relationship, but that he does not want to lose me from his life. That we have to let some time to pass and see what happens. He is not seeing his ex anymore and he also says he likes me a lot, but he does not want to change our relationship.
The fact that he is always contacting me to spend time together and that in three or four recent occasions he has confessed he felt the temptation to kiss me, is a sign he is into me?
I mean: do I give him more time or should I move on? Can this progress to a relationship?

I think he likes you but he is scared to acknowledge that fact for some reason. Especially since he felt bad after sleeping with his ex and came to apologize to you, which makes me think he likes you. Also, he said he felt the urge to kiss you, which shows he has some feelings for you. I just think he is scared of losing your friendship if y'all do become involved and then end up breaking up. He doesn't want to lose your friendship. I would tell him that maybe try dating and even if you two don't work out you will still have a friendship especially since that is where y'all started to begin with. Tell him you need and value his friendship more than any thing else, so if dating doesn't work out you will always have friendship to fall back on, but you two obviously have feelings for each other so maybe take it slow and see how it goes. Maybe go out to dinner with an open mind and then move slowly from there. He seems scared to lose you so you should reassure him he won't but I think that it can progress into a relationship and that y'all two want to be with each other but are scared to. If you love him then you will wait. Best of luck!
