Is this how an undecided aqua man like?

This aqua guy was all crazy about us being together, he was very sweet and said/did all the right things. I agreed to be in a relationship with him then he started backing off when he noticed I was serious about this relationship, like I wanted to see him every once in a while or talk to him over the phone every now and then, but his idea was taking things slow (like he won't see me for like a month) we were barely friends, let alone in a relationship. I tried breaking up with him a few times, but he did all his best to stop me, I then started to ignore him and he came over being all upset because he thought we were nothing like a "couple" and that he doesn't know how to deal with girls (which I doubt since before we were together he was so sweet to me!). Anyway, I finally broke up with him and his response was "as you wish, but it doesn't mean we can't be friends" and I was like "You still want to be friends?!!" he said "of course I care about you!". I left it at that, I'm not upset with him as we never were a couple anyway. Now he is all over me texting and talking and all I'm doing is shutting him off. Sometimes I'd ignore his texts (which lead to more texts) other times I'll reply with a lame 1 word reply. BUT HE JUST WONT STOP.

Can someone please help me understand what's going on?

He clearly knows/gets what it takes for a relationship to work (consistent communication, affection, etc.)

His problem though is in actually practicing those things. Doesn't mean he doesn't have it in him or that he doesn't see it's importance, but moreso that he doesn't yet know how to express those things

It's hard enough as it is to get an Aqua to actually agree to have the "title" with someone. That's just 1 hurdle of many

The 2nd hurdle comes when they realize they actually have to put their emotions into action. And this scares them.

That's why sometimes they have moments when they're extremely open, while other times they're completely detached, distant & aloof. It's b/c they haven't dealt with their own inner demons yet. They're not totally confident in their OWN ability to showcase & express their inner emotions & actually translate those emotions into actions that another person can actually see/feel.

You did the right thing. If he's not giving you what you want, break it off. Of course he's gonna come back running & it's b/c he knows deep down that you're right. He knows he can give you what you want, BUT for some reason his insecurities/fears of expressing those emotions far outweighs his feelings for you. That's why you lose the battle every time

This is a problem that only he can fix. Him begging for you back aint worth a damn if when he comes back, he's up to the same ole tricks.

This isn't about you. He needs more confidence in himself. And this is something most Aquas may spend years or an entire lifetime working on.

Player. Aqua love is rare but extremely powerful and if he wanted you, you and everyone else in the world would know about it
