Default br or friend?

I have this friend and we are very close and do alot of things together and see each other 6 days a week, including working together and working out every evening. He says he loves me like a brother. At one point he told me he was not gay or bi. But the way we interact and talk gives me different vibes. I know he loves me but not sure if that means he wants a relationship. If we are not in a relationship then I don't want to be friends.
Am I wrong for wanting to end our friendship if it is not more? I feel I cannot cope with being around him if we are not closer.

Very little info to go by, but sounds like you have a really good friendship, but you want it to be more and he doesn't want to (at this moment anyway).

Keep in mind that in many cases, people will have a few friends they have known longer than their current wife/husband/partner/whatever. It's kinda good to have someone for a long time in your life... esp. if it's someone you can go to and talk/vent when you have relationship problems with the current boyfriend/partner.

I suppose the question is, does it torture you to spend time with him and not be able to do all the "other" things you fantasize about but can't since he says he's not gay or bi.

He has a gf but tells me he trusts me and cares for me more and not sure he loves her.
He says he is breaking up with her by end of July. He says he cares as much for me as I do him and we will always be together. Said if gf expected him to give me up then he would dump her. I say we are not on same page and he insists we are. Told him I was jealous of her and how much I cared for him over a month ago and he said we keep getting closer and he did not run after hearing this. When I am with him I feel on cloud nice but then when away from him feel miserable and jealous he is with her. She is also jealous of me and wont talk to me.

Does he know that you're gay (or bi, whichever you are)?

I have not told him I am bi. But we have talked about how we care for each other and how
we are each the most important person in our lives. I did tell him I am jealous of gf which should tell him something since guys normally are not jealous in such situations.

He broke up with his gf because she wanted him to end mine and his friendship. He told me he decided they had nothing in common and he had more in common with me. I asked him if he knew how I really felt and he said yes and he felt the same way. He told me we would always be friends and together.

Does it sound like my friend is bi or open to a male to male relationship or is he
just wanting to be friends?
