Why does my friend guy like to hurt me?

I have been knowing this guy for years since we were kids. Alot of things happen where he was in jail before and he supposely got a girl pregnant. Even though it hurted me from all of the negative things he said and done to me. I forgave him and tried to be his friend since then. But it seem like the only time he want to be involve in my life is when he want to have with me. But I don't do it because I'm afraid to get hurt again. He claim that he doesn't want to be around me anymore cause I like him too much but it isn't like that to me. I just want his time and his friendship. True... I do love him and I still have feelings for him but for some reason we can't really stay at a friendship level anymore. I don't understand why he say the things he say to me. He claim he doesn't trust nobody but I never done anything to hurt him. I always been the one to care about him and worried about him when he doesn't come home. I feel like I deserve better treatment from him then to be mistreated all of the time. Sometimes I wonder do i overreact to things when it comes down to it. I feel like I'm nothing to him but just a toy. He use to show so many feelings towards me. He use to tell me that he really does have feelings for me. So now I don't know what happen to us? I don't know why we act that way with each other. My friends tell me I should move on from him because it is not worth getting hurt all of the time. There are times where i just ignore them and still try to be around him. Is that stupid of me???? Sometimes he text me Good Morning or Come outside so we can chill and talked but then there are times where it is hard to get in touch with him or sometimes he don't want to answer his phone or text me back. I don't know what to do. I feel like a fool when it comes down to him. I pray everyday about me and him. I pray that we can get our friendship back like it use to be, but I don't think we have that chance anymore. Sometimes i believe he want to tell me his real side but instead he say things like I don't want to hurt you so I don't want you to like me anymore or you can do better than me. Why do he say things like that? He doesn't hang with his friends no more. He cut everybody off but he is cutting off the wrong person, the wrong girl who does love him alot. When I tell him I love him he takes is lightly like I'm just playing. I don't know what to say anymore. What should I do?????? I need some advice :(
