I'm so confused

Megan
So, me and this guy I met through school and mutual friends have been friends for about 9 months, he's amazing. Except for the fact that he says he doesn't want a relationship because he thinks they are too "hard core ". 6 months after we became friens we started having sex ( I lost my virginity to him) you could say it was "love"at first sight for me.  I like him alot.  And I'd do pretty much anything to officially be with him.  ( once he said"we are pretty much together"but he won't ask me to be his girlfriend) in my eyes her I'd the perfect boyfriend for me,  and even though we aren't dating he acts like a boyfriend would,he takes meet on dates, we hold hands, kiss, his in public.  He knows how much I love him and he still goes along with it.  I trust this man with everything. 
So I just am really confused,  I always told my self I would never be in this kind of relationship but he I am.  And I have now come to realize that I do, truly love him, but as from what he's told me.  He doesn't feel the same and he doesn't ever plan on going any further in this relationship.  As far as he's told me.
