My post really needed editing. Let's try again.
Well, detaching a bit will always help. Especially now.
No one is saying you can't go for this. Do what feels right, just keep your eyes open, and keep in mind that there's a possibility that this might turn into something long term. Is that *really* what you want now? Picture what that would mean and how that would all fit in with the rest of your life - not just now, but a few months down the road. Before you answer this (for yourself) wait a few days and think about it.

Some background: Three years and then some ago, before my Scorpion ex, this Aquarian and I were real close. We'd flirt, drink wine, and would make out. We talked every night. Over time, we naturally drifted and found ourselves with other people.
Now we've been talking again, and er, having adult relations (hi, trying to not be explicit here) aka bumping uglies. I had a serious relationship end last month and had the intention of leaving my heart out of this. He's been making that difficult. He is.. different. He cuddles with me, for a long time, regardless if sex or not. He kisses my nose and forehead and strokes my mane.
The night before last, I went over his place and we hung out. Despite it being freezing, we went outside and watched the Geminius meteor shower together. I'm horrible with constellations. He isn't. He pointed out the constellations to me and Mercury.
We went inside. He smoked weed, I didn't, for no reason, really. I smoked cloves. Almost fell asleep together. For anybody who knows me - I am an Insomniac who can't sleep and never feel relaxed enough to, especially with others. We didn't have sex. He asked me to see him Saturday night. He doesn't usually initiate plans with anybody.
Last night he said he liked me. Unfortunately, this was via message.
So, of course my response was, 'Like is very subjective. That's just the Spock in me talking. Goodnight Kirk.' He responded with, 'Dork. You know. Night'. Usually I wouldn't think anything of it because it's not in person, but I've known him long enough to know he's sincere about it.
I initially said that I had no expectations for this, uh, experience with him. I hold true to that. I'm happy enough to spend time with him with mutual romantic interest without it being serious for an indefinite amount of time. Either way, fuck, I'm digging him.
