I have been friends with a Capricorn man for the past 10 years. A little background.... I'm a Taurus female, and I met him through a project (he's a photographer, amongst many other things). He was very driven, and serious, and I was super intimidated for the most part until halfway through the photoshoot, when he let his guard down and showed his human side. Anyway, I was married at that time, and he and I only networked professionally for a little while. We became friends through social media, and would check in on each other every so often. There was always a very open and kind friendship between us and he would always say how much he missed me, and wished we could hang out. ( I live an hour away) After I got divorced, I ended up in another relationship almost immediately, but my cappy friend and I maintained contact.
At one point, I ended up facing a very scary situation with my health and was to have a difficult surgery, and I let him know about it. He right away was concerned, and asked if I needed anything or anyone, as he wanted to be there for me at my surgery. I never told him when I had it, because I didn't want him to see me that way. He was the only person besides my Grandparents who were there for me. Through the passing years he would write to me or I would write to him to check on each other. Once he even wrote "I've missed you. I from time to time wonder where you are and what you're up to." After not hearing from me for a year and a half. That message broke my heart.
Fast forward to last December... I got out of my relationship (of 6 years) and wanted to reconnect with my Cappy friend. We started making plans to hang out.We finally set a quick meet up at a coffee shop last month. We saw each other and you could feel the happiness and relief that we could finally see each other after all those years. (It was 7 years, the last time I saw him) He just opened right up and told me everything that had been going on in his life, from his health to his family and his future plans. He even said he couldn't believe how much he was telling me, because he hadn't vocalized many of the things he had been talking about. All felt right in the world, and I was completely at ease in his company, as was he. We have met up 2 more times since (the last one was his idea) but the meetups are usually between 45 minutes to an hour, and he usually meets with me before he picks up his kids from school.
I think I was really starting to like him more than a friend, because of the feelings I get when I'm around him. After we hung out, this last time (Wednesday) he was in a lot of pain because of work injuries, I was really wanting to make him feel better (I'm a natural nurturer) but I kept control of myself and just sat with him. I later messaged him that I feel him, when I'm around him (I'm a damn empath too) and I had urges to just massage his shoulders to make him feel better, but my wording was a bit on the questionable side. He read the message and took a little while to respond, but he replied by saying that he had to really think about how to respond because he didn't want to be presumptuous and didn't know if he was off track.
I freaked out and didn't know how to respond and now I feel like an ass. I love our friendship and how I feel when I'm around him and I don't want to lose him but now he isn't responding to me or opening my messages. Should I worry?
ON a side note, I live in a dangerous small town, and he knows how bad I want to move, he offered to help me fix up my house so I could sell it, and that meant a lot to me. How do I decipher this man? Is he feeling something or is this his way of being a friend.... I'm dying because I don't want to bother him too much.
