Do guys share their deepest, darkest secrets with girls who are just friends? Have I been friend zoned? Is he hinting at something? Should I give up?

My crush and I have been message all summer, almost all day long almost every day, like nine hours of back and forth about everything. Yesterday he told me to also text him so we could keep talking while he was out. We are both in relationships. He's been talking with me a lot about how he's bored and unsatisfied with his gf but he would stay with her, even if he doesn't want to, bc he doesn't want her to suffer from being dumped like he did with his last gf. I asked him if he was in love with her and he said not as much as she is with him. She has a guy in another state she sexts with, but my friend says she has no desire to break up. They've been together 18 mos.

He's told me that I'm his other fave person besides gf and have been for 2 yrs. I just found this out in June. He says he loves me, not romantically, but he shows every sign on every list except asking me out bc we've never been free since we've known each other. Every time we are together he is glued to my side unless it's in class then he's giving me this goofy smile, winking and staring at me for minutes on end. I look away because I feel like he's xraying me! He's always lightly touching, rubbing my arm, shoulder, lower back, etc. He talks to me a lot about sex and what things I might want to do. He says he's jk or curious, not seriously inquiring (?) He's made several jokes about us being bf/gf too.

Last night around 3, he was divulging his deepest "pandora's box" secrets, his darkest thoughts, he said, when his laptop died, so we went to sleep. He told me how angry and hurt he still is about his first break up and how he really wants to be free his last year of school to explore the "lovely ladies" he's known for yrs. Then he says there's this girl I don't know that he would like to kiss! Not me! He also said he could never bear the shame of kissing another girl while he has a gf. He said he wanted to start new flames.
He's using me for emotional support and only wants friendship
He's hinting that he might want more if we were both available
He's a confused mess and I should walk away from the drama
Get over my crush and just enjoy his flirting as friends

He knows my bf is a hothead and that our relationship makes him jealous but he just keeps pushing our closeness and trying to be more in my life. He made sure to see me over the summer and is going to school a day early just to see me he said. Wtf?
