<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

Me: Female, mid 30's Him: Male, same age

We have been best friends for over a year now. We don't get to spend that much time together because he lives in a different state but we talk every day. We are in constant communication through email, text, and phone calls. 

I have made it known before that I am interested in more than just friendship but he always seems to dismiss it, like he isn't interested. Lately he has been saying things like, "I wish you were here with me on this trip because I know you would have fun" or "I would love to have you right here beside of me helping me with this". 

He calls me every night when he gets home from work and we talk for hours. We talk about dumb things and laugh like crazy but we also have intelligent conversations. We are best friends, like any couple should be, we just don't call ourselves a couple. He truly is my best friend and I would hate to imagine my life without him. 

What I'm asking is, could he be interested in me as more than a friend but just doesn't want to admit it? He already knows I like him as more than a friend so if he is interested in more he shouldn't be afraid to say it. Am I reading too much into this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
<bot>: Best friend of the opposite sex seems like he's into me. Am I getting my signals crossed by overanalyzing what he says to me?
