Is he treating me as just a platonic friend?

We are friends who don't meet often, communicate more on IM than on outings. He asked me to join some of his activities, but I dropped out after trying once as I'm not too keen. Sometimes when I asked him for help, he will always remember, although his response time is really slow, like taking a month to p me a dvd, but he remembers it. I casually mentioned that i thought this movie is quite interesting and asked him if he's keen, he said he's not and I felt broken-hearted. I will guess that if he'd like to go out with me, he might have suggested something else. Is he just platonic towards me?
