When Enough Is Enough

I have decided to end a sexual relationship I am having because I have run out of patience.
See, I have a "friend" that I used to be interested in having a romantic relationship with. As a matter of fact, when we first met, we had many conversations about how wonderful we would be together. We share similar taste in music, movies and political views. We have great converstions and our sex life has become very satisfying. VERY. You may be asking what the problem is then.
Well, I have known him for a year (13 months + 1 day to be exact but who's counting) and a few things consistantly disturb me about him.

1. We have never had sex in a bed.
2. I have never seen the upstairs of his house. (What's he hiding?)
3. Everytime we have made plans to do something together (except for sex) he has stood me up or pulled a hoodini-style disappearing act for days on end.
4. He likes talking about marrying me, but can't seem to talk about dating me.
5. He NEVER does what he says he is going to do. (i.e. "I'll call you tomorrow" Tomorrow= 8-10 days later).

It's all very frustrating and I'm over getting my hopes up over nothing. He says one thing and conveys something altogether different. I have come to realize who and what he really is and it is very disappointing. I like him as a person. He is one of the coolest people that I have ever met and that's what makes all of this difficult. I understand his picky and analytical Virgo ways, but there is a fine line between picky and ridiculous.
I thought I could just maintain a sexual friendship with him, but I was deluding myself and lying to him.

The bottom line is this:
I know what I want and what I am willing to tolerate. I know what I am capable of and what I'm not. He is unable or just unwilling to give me what I need and want out of a relationship, and I am getting too damn old to wait around to see if he can figure it out. So despite my love and adoration of this man, I have to say good bye to him.
My hope is that one day we will find happiness in our relationships with other people and then we can maintain a friendship without the possibility of sex.

Hope springs eternal!
