Only recently has romantic and sexual orientations been seperated. He's asexual: he doesn't experience sexual attraction. Asexuality is a sexual orientation, or lack of one, if you will. So if he's asexual, he's staying asexual.

Romantic orientation however ... we could probably say he is grayromantic, meaning he rarely experiences romantic attraction.

None of his attitudes toward sexual or romantic attraction/relationships are "cleary a façade." There are people out their who just don't want/experience sexual or romanitc relationships/attractions, and others need to respect that. He obviously has platonic relationships, so he does need to have friends to make him happy.

Even if he does end up having coitus with Amy, that doesn't change the fact that he's pressumily asexual. Really we won't know for certain if he's asexual, until he himself states that he does not experience sexual attraction. But he probably is asexual.
