Time for me to grow up and to stop adding pressure to my friend

Hi I have been posting a lot about my boyfriend on here and well we not together but our friendship and our bond is unreal. I have been putting pressure on him for us to be more than friends to a point where it’s been causing us a lot of damage. He has said that he is unsure of what he wants and has said a relationship could be possible but again it might not happen. Today my mental health was extremely bad I was with him all day and I really struggled wanting to self harm feeling useless but he offered me comfort and support. I have been thinking and I’m not ready to be in a relationship and if me and him decide yes go for it great, but if not and I meet someone else then I will tell them that me and my friend have this amazing bond that I will not stop being his friend. Hope I am making the right decision here.
