It's like breaking up over & over & over

I broke up w/my bf over 2 months ago. He's a great guy. I would love to be friends with him but of all people, I am one who's always believed you can't stay friends w/ex's!!! With him I would beg to differ... but since I am the one who broke up with him, I'm beginning to see why this won't work.
He wants so much for a 2nd chance... but I just don't see that happening. So I make my point clear (or so I think....) & then we talk as friends for week or so, and then he hints about us "dating" or something else along those lines. I don't want to be mean... and I don't think I'm sending him mixed signals... I have told him on numerous occasions that I just don't feel that way for him.
So he'll say ok... he accepts the fact... then a few weeks later it's the same story. :-( I finally told him this week I feel like I'm telling him the same things over & over and it's going in one ear and out the other!!! He said no, he can't help but be optimistic, but he accepts the fact "now" that we'll never be anything more than friends.
I'm thinking it may be in HIS best interest if I break off contact. But I do like talking to him... I do like his friendship... I will miss him. But this isn't getting any easier!!! It's almost as if I have to "break up with him" over and over and over as if the first time weren't difficult enough!
