Can man change their mind when he says he only see you as a friend?

To all the guys,
I really need your opinion on this and I hope I can get a good advice from all of you.

I have been seeing this guy for almost a year now, the first 6 months I was asking him if we can pursue the relationship further as in relationship since we’ve been hooking up and stuff, but he says he’s not sure about it so I ended things with him.

A few weeks after, my dad passed away and I need him so much, that I couldn’t be with anyone else other than him, he gives me comfort emotionally and physically. Right now, whenever I stopped seeing him for like 2 weeks, I wouldn’t be able to sleep and I start to become ill etc.

I realise that I can’t just lose 2 people in one time, my dad means so much for me that I always had dream when I was crying almost everyday but whenever he’s around, thats all stops. He has so much impact on me that I didn’t even realise it was that serious.

But recently we had a talk, he’s actually seeing someone else and he said this is not fair for me. He had sex with her but whenever he was with me, we did something similar too.

He said he likes me but only as a friend, therefore he can’t see me other than that, but how come we always end up hooking up whenever we met? That I don’t understand.

Do you think men can change his mind? As I know he’s attracted to me and care about me at some point. Should I leave him and be by myself, basically be miserable even if I need him.
