I agree with MidasGirl.
He may feel that because you get on well together, are great friends, that should be "enough" for a relationship and so he may not be playing games with you - he may honestly think this is a mature way to have a relationship. Passion can get us in all sorts of trouble in dating; maybe you're "safe" and comforting for him and he thinks that's a good bet for the future.
But passion and attraction for your partner is important, too. Although the fires may die down as time passes, do you really want to start off with a fizzle? Later on, if life gets tough, there's no history to look back on and say "Hey, we had *this* together. Let's work to rekindle it. We can work out our problems because we have this connection that is more than just being friends." You can't rekindle something that wasn't there in the first place.
You don't want to end up living like brother and sister down the line. If he is saying this to you now, take heed. Expect more for yourself. You deserve a partner who is totally into you. Don't settle!
