This sounds soooo much like the situation I'm in. I like a guy that lives a 1 minute drive from me, but will only see me on weekends. He said to me, "You're cool with what we are, yeah? Just drifting?" which no, I am not cool with. Which he knows. And still won't ask me out. But, it turns out his ex was a horror and he's not too keen on relationships these days because of it.
Maybe this guy has also been through a horrible relationship, like you mentioned you have, but can't get past it as you have? Maybe he's taking it slow because he wants to take it slow, and not because he doesn't care. If a boy didn't care, it'd usually be the other way around with minimal sweet words and text messages, and more seeing you just to cuddle - that kinda thing.
