I’ve been friends with this guy for about 3 months and our friendship has grown stronger and stronger. But, he only wants to hang out with me on his own, it’s always around his place, I’ve met his family because he wanted me to, and he compliments me. When I don’t see him he messages me, and even rings me. Why won’t he make a move? I am very confused by all of this? Surely if he didn’t like me why would be bother at all?
Maybe he doesn't want to risk damaging your relationship. If he made a move and it turned out that you didn't like him like that, your friendship could immediately become awkward and possibly fall apart. If he values you as friend, he might not want to risk it. Such is the burden of people with attractive friends.
He could still be probing/testing the waters. It sounds like you aren't exactly giving him a green light. He might eventually go for it anyway, or he might give up, or...
It's also possible that he just doesn't like you like that. He might just really enjoy your company as a friend, especially if he doesn't have many others.
If you want to pursue a relationship with him, why don't you try making a move? Show him that you're receptive, at least. Guys aren't mind-readers.

Probably because he's not sure how you'd respond. Trying making a move yourself, or at least hinting more strenuously that you'd welcome it.
Despite what some people will tell you, men aren't stupid- but we're more direct thinkers- and consequently, MUCH more direct communicators- than women are. If your message isn't getting through, move the intensity up a notch.
You said it…” friends “ if you want more than just friends then you need to let him know that. But even letting him know that doesn’t mean he’ll want more than just friends with you.

Maybe because he's shy and doesn't want to ruin the friendship with you. Or you haven't given him encouragement that he's got a chance. But here's a tip for you... if you wanna date him, YOU ask him yourself. Why wait for him?
Maybe he’s just a good friend. If you like him then make a move on him and see what happens
Why would he make a move when you are 'friends'. Let me guess, he's supposed to read your mind?
Because he thinks he's friend-zoned. You have to make a move now. He doesn't want to creep you out if he feels he's friend-zoned.
He’s either too scared or just wants friendship.
He only thinks of you as a friend only.
