How to get over a fuckboy?

I’ve been talking to this guy for quite some time now, since last November. He never told me what he was looking for from the beginning so I never thought to ask. But basically from the beginning we really hit it off and became good friends with some benefits. We do hook up occasionally. But he always brings me out with his friends and I’ve met pretty much all of them an even his mom. We’ll go to dinner, movies, bowling really whatever. We will literally hang out almost everyday. He’ll kiss me and tell me how beautiful I am. So basically he’s getting all the benefits of a relationship without having to commit. I’ve brought up being in a relationship a couple of times to him and he always says we’re just friends and I’m not looking for anything rn, the last time I brought that up was about a month ago. I’m at the point where I’ve gotten my hopes up that eventually we’ll be in a relationship but I know it’s never going to happen because if it were it most likely would have happened by now. It’s just hard because I really really like him but I know I need to let him go because I’ll end up getting more hurt than I am now. Is that what I should do? I just need some advice, also should I try to talk to him about it in person or just text it to him?
