Why doesn't he take me out on a proper date?

A female age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Its kind of difficult to know where to start. I think that i am head over heels in love with my friend(male)but he doesn't seem to share the feeling. We have known each other for nearly a year but been really good friends for the past 6 months. I think he likes me a lot - he tells me all sorts of things about family, work, worries etc. when we meet up he is always lovely to me, sits by me, finds reasons to touch me a lot and smiles at me all the time. he emails and texts me - both of us starting the conversations - we don't usually go more than 5 days without one of us contacting the other and often we are in contact every day. He has a few friends who are women but apart from me they are all married. I have never known him have a girlfriend or talk about any woman he is interested in - apart from famous people he fancies- he isn't gay. he took me out for dinner a while ago and planned it all and paid and texted me as i was on the way home to say he'd had a lovely time. we meet up for coffee/lunch lots and he is always asking to meet up with me. Any ideas on does he actually fancy me and why doesn't he want to date me romantically?
