If it was going to happen, it would have.
He sees himself single-- enough said.
You will continue to be frustrated because he isn't serving up the goodies, and it will take a toll on your self-esteem (if it hasn't already).
It will not change.
Why would he do this?
It is serving a purpose for him-- it must be.
What do you do for him?click to expand

There's a child involved here.
I honestly can't understand how a 40 something male can get involved with you, knowing you're pregnant, see that through with you, then say he sees himself as being single. It is an incredibly ridiculous thing to do.
I'm not going to be judgemental over you because I have no idea how difficult it must be facing being a single parent, but I really think you need to take a look at whether having someone so strongly involved with your child who you're in a "sorta" relationship with is a good thing.

okay, he is not gay, he IS capable (had it once),, in short, im in love w this great guy, over forty (im 10yrs younger),never married, no kids, never lived w anyone, never been in a relationship longer than 6months,

Are you serious!!!!
NO relationship has lasted more than six months! Red, red, red, red, RED flag!
He's only had sex once?? Good lawdy!
Over 40 and NEVER been married? Need to find out why.
No kids - ehhh, not so much a red flag, but he doesn't have experience here.
This guy has NO IDEA how to sustain a relationship. Either that, or he's the most commitment phobic guy out there.
I have a childhood friend who is 46 and never been married. Not going to be married. EVER. He has had some relationships, but once a girl has mentioned marriage, he dumps her. Just like that. He's too selfish to share his life with anyone else.

are you guys serious????? you think it is that bad???? ??_but i mean he is my best buddy in town, and he knows about my kid more than anyone else..(
just to update, i've actually got myself together and asked him if he still likes me, he said def I DO,, but within friends level, as he doesnt wanna have any relationship. also he added that he LOVES hanging out w me and my kid.. i said that i like him as a guy, and he repeated that he doesnt wanna a relationship,, i said im not about relationships, im about i like u as a guy, and then he said that's why i dont wanna go into a sexual level, coz it all leads to more (ie attachments and relatinships) shitttt??_.. and then he added that probably i've noticed already that he doesnt need that much sex.. well yeah,,,but??_not so sure..
so like he wants to join us in the trips we go??_. well truly, i'm just confused now in what i want myself, tooo??_ i know for sure i want someone to be my side, be there for me - seems he does that, though more like a friend for sure,,,
ohhhh, and pls drop that GAY thing??_.. i heard stories about neighbours too, thoughclick to expand

I think he's made it very clear that he doesn't want you in the same way you want him. Usually this ends badly because the wanting person gets hurt the most after spending so much time and energy hoping and trying for more than what's being offered. And what happens when he does find someone to connect with and walks away from you and your kid (who will be attached to him)?
Also, the fact that you are feeling jealous of your own child for the attention it gets from him.....that's a problem, too. You shouldn't be feeling jealous of your child. Not to mention it seems so dang WEIRD that a guy is more into your child then you. Not to accuse him of anything inappropriate, but.....pedophile, maybe?

Oh girl! You should go read my post, about my 30 yr relationship with my cap. He is in his 40s, never married, no kids, no long term g/f. I'm the first female he has ever lived with. The day I moved in, he put me in the friend zone! It's been a year, we still live together, and I'm still in the friend zone. Good luck girl!

oh got cutt off??_ >>>
ALSO, would you let anyone into your sheets??!! literally, he leaves his home door open to me, letting me come over whenever i want, using his whatever stuff i need and letting me sleep in his bed whenever he's away on trips??_. and true, there should be something underlying (i mean isnt it that all the bachelors should be having some issues?.. i mean nothing wrong w that, everyone have issues anyway))))
??_ Is this some kinda game we are playing without naming it???_ can anyone give me hope on that?^^))

HAHA on the bUrglar Alarm))) but hey, guuuuuuuyyyys, please not this path! LOL
We live in one of the safest countries in the world, wouldnt be this case for sure, we both know that. Im just saying would there be any space in the future for him to grow up romantically towards me?????_ what i meant is, c'mon i'd be sick at the thought of having ANy of my friends in my bedsheets, and im not kidding!??_. i mean OK, so we are friends, he takes care of me, looks after us, hangs out w us-- he is this free empty seat, it doesnt stay empty for too long,,, i 'm kinda close to it, can i be the one taking it??.. am i wrong w this sequence? ||
still thing to note, def im not HIS BEST friend, as he is not open to me as much as he would be to his 20yrs long male friend,,,,,,, should i just try to have him open up more to me? ie to continue us to know each other more?..ohhhh, these are just sentences from a book,, whatever ??_..i mean im just smashing myself to this same wall - I DO like him, and I'd like us to work out!??_??_??_??_...

You are both crazy.
Go ahead and propose though.

@truecap, remember you mentioned your friend, 46? being life-time friends w him can u track back or do u understand what it is that he is so averse to the marriage word as you say?
lol well he can always wash his sheets out you know
if he's not wanting to pin you against the bedsheets, i don't know what he's waiting for. for the "right" moment? Sounds like a whole lotta fear..... or he is unsure of you sexually and romantically.
don't get your hopes up. it's terrible to get them so high and then only to crash down.
