Awesome!! Good to know!! Thank you!

Such a mess! Lol thank God for being so patient. At least I can be sure that he thinks very highly of me and therefore can be pretty assured that he will be back when he's got his head together. We've settled on being friends for now but he had some pretty incredible things to say about me as if he wanted me to know how he thought of me before we have some extra space between us.

No, we don't generally get close to people we don't like. What's his mercury and venus? Be a bit more specific hon
He's been getting closer and then pulling back. I don't know his situation with his ex wife nor do I care to ask, but I sense that he was hurt deeply. And has been suffering from depression. A high functioning depression, but depression nonetheless. I get the impression that once he realized he could connect with someone else the way we have he realized he needs to screw his head on straight first before it goes any further. I admire that he wants to be in a good place though. I just want to be there for him and not make him think I ran away, but give him the space that he needs at the same time.

He has never completely ignored any communication I've ever initiated since we met. Honestly it's his fault I like him lol after several hours of talking the first night we met, I had no idea he was interested, then suddenly hand on my thigh, to holding hands very intimately, to cuddles and talking about everything (progressed over several hours of course). Then lots of interaction over text for a day or two and he suddenly started to pull back I was really confused.

Then I ended up going to see him one night when I was halfway and we were texting so he said to come (he lives two hours away) and he hugged me and said he was so happy I was there and he couldn't believe I was there. That he had tried to push me away so I wouldn't like him. And I told him I was confused by that and didn't know what was going on and he hugged me again and said "I know you were. I'm sorry. you can ask me anything." Circumstances didn't allow us to talk as much as I would've liked that night. I guess he had been really nervous that I was coming (according to his best friend) and drank too much…

And then I saw him about a month ago again and we had an amazing night very affectionate and sweet and touchy-feely, even dirty dancing at the bar together, until he was giving me a back massage in bed and suddenly implied that he wanted to take my shirt off quite roughly by lifting it up in the back really fast LOL not a problem by the way, and when I obliged he just cuddled me for a little while and eventually rolled over and pulled back. Like a lot. We've had a couple of pretty real conversations over text. Even one that got a little bit intimate that of course was followed by a long silence… I'm truly at a loss.

We've still been talking regularly but he's told me that he's depressed basically. And he even said that to me once the first night… But of course we were out having a good time and I didn't see it… I want to help him but I don't want to push him so hard that he runs away.

I've said as much to him and he thanked me for being there for him and said he knows that I am "a great person, great attitude and amazing" and that if he needs anything he'll let me know because I had offered… He said he doesn't like to ask for help
