You are probably doing the best you can do, just by moving ahead slowly a little bit at a time. Hopefully eventually he will acept this and move on also, while at the same time yall can remain friends.

It depends on the people and their relationships really. Some people move on quicker than others and some people can't handle having someone as just a friend when they still care so much for that person. I used to be with a girl who asked me to marry her. We became serious but it didnt work out. I've never had a problem getting over girls, but it took me over a year to get over this one. She wanted to be friends and at times I wanted the same but it was difficult hearing that she was with someone new and she called me when she got engaged and when she got pregnant. She acted like I was this friend who was supposed to be happy and so i kinda played that role. I've recently gotten engaged and when I told her, she got really upset. She freaked out at my and told me we shouldn't talk. I didn't think that she was still harboring feelings for me. Either way she's married and she had told me she moved on. So sometimes you kinda have to be sensitive to the fact that while you want to preserve the friendship the other person might not. You have to talk with them and find out if they want the same thing you do. And be willing to accept their decision if they change their mind.

Say just that. Beating about the bush only causes problems. Honesty, corny as it sounds, is the best policy.
Good luck.

If only that was something that could really happen but I think its impossible and you should leave well enough alone!

It really doesn't work too well, for most people, it is usually all or nothing.
