While that says a lot, make sure not to rush him.
You said that he mentioned he never wanted to be in a relationship again. Well...though I am but one person, I can say that that can change rather quickly. Not too long ago, I had given up on such things, I didn't even think about it. I didn't
want to think about it, because I was so sick of being given the impression that something might go somewhere, only to be shown that I was just being used again. (I was also drowning myself in alcohol at the time, but that's not really the point.) Now... there's no point in trying to describe how amazing of a girlfriend I have, words could never do her justice.
Be direct. Telling him how you feel isn't an ultimatum. It doesn't say "You have to agree to X, Y, and Z by this time." Just make it clear how you feel about him. If he's ready, he will let you know. He may not be, and that's not necessarily a rejection of you, it could just mean that he's not ready for
anyone yet.
