I'm sure you don't want to hear this but that sounds like a real red flag to me.
I'm a guy and when I'm around my female friends, if I'm uninterested in that person romantically. I'll be sure not to say anything that might be interpreted as a flirt or advancement. Most reasonable guys will have a conscious filter to know not to say anything that might give the wrong idea unless they're interested.
But this guy knows you are interested in him and he says the feeling isn't mutual but yet he heavily flirts with you, playing with your emotions and basically saying things that typically boyfriends would say.
Either the guy is very oblivious to what he says which is unlikely, or he genuinely is interested and just for whatever reason cannot commit, possibly due to work or a separate commitment or whatever it may be or he could be playing with your feelings because he enjoys you crushing over him without him having to have any commitment.
Ultimately, I would say to confront him next time he says something really flirtatious and asks if he genuinely feels that way and then go from there.
How do you tell your best friend you love them?
