Hesitant to come in a relationship?

I have feelings for a guy who is 6 years older than me. We have been friends for two years. I’m almost 26 he’s 32. He shows me a lot of affection (hasn’t said I love you) but also doesn’t stop showing affection and acts really silly around me lol. But I shared my feelings with him he politely declined because he doesn’t want one at the moment. But yes he has also not taken any bad advantages of me like he doesn’t force me to share my assets with him and it’s been two years now imagine! He loves kind of far away from my house but comes to see me often and I went to his house yesterday for the first time, to give him presents and he forces me to stay longer and he did try to be chummy but we didn’t do the deed with all due respect. So like I know I shouldn’t be forcing someone to commit to me because it’s looks desperate but could you pls give tips on how to make him see me as the girl he can spend the rest of his life with? Also he is divorced he got divorced around 1.5 years ago. And is his affection for me is genuine? I feel it is and he likes me but not enlightened to commit to me. I’m sad pls help me out :(
