Sharon, based on your two posts thus far on this thread it would seem to me that this male friend of yours is really a good guy. Not only does he sound like a "nice guy," but you portray him to be quite the gentleman too, so I definitely tip my hat off to the guy for that.
However, while I can understand your curiosity in finding out whether he's interested in you or not, you have not mentioned once whether you're attracted to him physically or romantically. You did mention that he has desirable qualities, and you implied that you know you're safe in his company, but the bottom line is that you don't sound like you're that interested in him.
If you are attracted to him and would desire a relationship, then don't date other guys and be less subtle about throwing him hints that you're interested. Have you considered the fact that maybe he hasn't made a move on you because he knows he'd get rejected or he knows that despite his having attributes you admire in a man that he's just not your type?
I am more inclined to believe that he definitely digs you but he's keeping his mouth shut and not making a move because he knows he'll crash and burn if he reveals his true feelings for you---I honestly don't blame him because I have had plenty of personal experience with rejection and I know how much it hurts.
Maybe it's best that he keeps his distance. He probably needs some time to work through his own feelings and get over you before he can start seeing you just as a friend. And maybe he's really hurting inside because he's realized that no matter how good a friend he is to you and how close he may appear to you that he doesn't stand a chance because as Mojo_PeiPei said, he's "that nice guy." I'm not surprised the least bit that he's backing away, and this may be his only defense from having his heart shot out to a million pieces.
