If there was no X, I wouldn't hesitate to be with you and to attempt a more complex, meaningful relationship. That might seem like a change from before -- since I already did attempt with you to try to figure it out. But now... I know I keep saying this over and over and that I run the risk of it sounding like an excuse, but I can't bear the thought of losing you as a friend, so as long as I'm 'dating' X, I can't do anything with you..
I'm not trying to lead you on or make you wait when i say things like "right now" and
as long as." It's just that if you boil everything down to its basic plot lines, it's I like you, you like me, we get along great and have an established bond. If the situation were different we'd be together and happy and secure and content. I'm leaving room for the situation to be different and perfect for us at some future date, because I cannot control or predict the future, I don't know how much longer I'll keep dating X or whether or not it will turn serious. I don't expect you to wait or think highly of me for being so confused, though.
I honestly don't know how you can even consider the posibility of waiting for him after reading something like this. I think if he was as infatuated with you as he says he is, he would do something about it instead of making you be his "Plan B". By acting in this way he is being completely disrespectful, to you, to the girl he is dating AND to himself as well.
If I were you, I would say something along the lines of:
"I don't know how much longer you'll keep on dating X or whether or not it will turn serious, but I can tell you right now that I'm obviously not important enough for you and you lie when you say that I am. I've made up my mind, I won't be waiting for you. Good luck with your hot date and all the best."
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil
