I met a guy I really like through common friends, but his concerns for privacy are making it very difficult to start something with him. His father was a prominent local politician and as our local culture is quite gossipy, he grew up being exposed and seeing his family’s private business on local newspapers. His recent brothers divorce for example was a favorite topic of conversation for local gossip and press. As a consequence, he is quite obsessed about his privacy and this is really making it difficult to approach him. We have mutual friends and see each other through them, and I have the impression there is a strong attraction and a good chemistry, also based on things he told me, but for example he asked me to keep to ourselves the fact there is something going on between us (and… from my point of view there is nothing going on but flirting; he never even kissed me) and he’s very secretive (he does not have a girlfriend this I know for sure). I don’t know how to approach him without scaring him and what to do to show him he can trust me
