I am 38 sngle no kids, dating a sucessful man 47 divorced nokids, we have had the same circle of freinds 25 y?

rs. 2 months ago i ran into him and from there we have been on 5 daytime 1 nighttime dates. Nothing overly romatic hes been a total gentleman. I am falling for him and think i want more, hes calls me his freind...hasnt come out and said he wants to be just freinds but i want more. I made him aware that i felt like we dont see on nother enugh that him takling to his xwife daily and beingfrinswith his xgf seemed mor important. He left me mssge saying 'he diidnt know' and he hopes we can remain freinds? what is going on here can someon tell me. am i rushing things with him on the other hand i dont want to be led on. he said hed call me tomorrow...its nye tomorow and he never included me in his plans..im ready to walk...as in leave ...but i really am intrested in him at the same time. any advice from adults please. thanks.
