Wants to date around since she is still young. The guy is willing to wait cos he loves her. They remain friends. She knows he is caring but unsure if he is the one. What must the guy do to win her back again? Do u think he should move on?

Hang in air and die without knowing.
Very black and white here: Either you chose to move on with life or attempt to do something about it. If you are asking me what is the most effective way to change her mindset and be willing to settle down with you in a relationship - it's difficult for me to explain here unless I can possess your soul for one day to understand more about your situation.
You mentioned 'she is popular and pretty.' - therefore by plain waiting, I can guarantee that you will NEVER get her.

Consider three strategies now:
I) Advance without her knowing that you are advancing. (She sees you as an interest, but the impact is weak. Learn to chase her without her knowing/seeing that you are trying to court her - if not, this will raise defense and reduce your chance of success)
II) Keep a steady flow during the chase. Do not perform sudden halt, then cranky move, halt and move again. (Do that once and you are almost 'owned')
III) Adopt both serious and fun attitude towards her. Humor is a good element. (Personality wise, check and attract her with attitude and characteristic that she is most vulnerable to)
