How do I become more than friends without forcing him out of my life?

I have a friend who I think is amazingly gorgeous and I can't stop thinking about him. We were talking about being in a relationship and having sex and what would happen after college. We talked that way for about three months then he up and cut me cold turkey. Saying that he "just wanted to be friends tbh". I don't know what happened and he says that he doesn't know where he is going to be next year so he doesn't' want to start anything but then I think to myself : but why not just try and see where it goes? I want to suggest it but I don't want to push him or have him get mad at me. I really like him and I don't know what to do.... Help me.... Please...
