I have been in a situation just like this before and it's really hard. You can't force yourself to feel romantic feelings that aren't there, but you do care about this guy so you don't want to hurt him. You will probably be able to be content with him for now, but once you meet someone new that you are romantically attracted to, it will get complicated.
My advice is to continue trying, for now, to find feelings for this guy. He sounds very nice and supportive which is hard to find in a partner. Even if you fall in love again, the next person may not be like this.
If nothing ever comes of it, you may have to try again to let him go, but it won't go over well. Trying to keep a friendship going won't be fair to him, since he wants a relationship. You will probably need to permanently exit each others lives, because otherwise he will not be able to get over you and he will suffer.
Again, this is a hard situation. I was in a similar one and it was the hardest situation I'd ever found myself in. It didn't end all that well, either. Good luck.
I don't give about my bf.
