I (f21) met this guy (m22) from school. We talked fairly a lot for 3 months but it was always about school. We hardly ever talked about anything personal. After the class we were taking was over, we started talking more about various things. He is very big on morals and conscientiousness. He is empathetic, soft, kind, and very respectful. One time he told me he "runs away from relationships" and i told him he has commitment issues. he denied it saying he is perfectly capable of getting into a relationship, he just hasn't found a "mature and honest" girl yet. Weeks go by and we are talking every hour of every day. He is showing interest, attention, affection, and sexual/mental/emotional attraction. He always compliments how honest, mature, and straightforward i am. He says he will never find anyone like me, that all of the girls he met before are "trash" compared to me. We started meeting up a lot. 2-4 times a week. He asks to see me every chance he gets. Sometimes we even sit in the car together and not do anything specific. Just enjoying each other's presence. Sometimes we would get touchy but not necessarily in a sexual way. We hold hands/cuddle/etc. Things did get sexual sometimes but I never felt that sex was the center of what we had+we never did it. I started having feelings for him - cause how tf can i not? and i told him that. He shut me down. Not in a rude way. He just made it clear that we are just friends. I tried to cut him off after but he insisted we stayed friends. I agreed. But i asked that he stops treating me like i am more. He promised he will do everything in his power to not ruin us. And he has been very "just friends" ever since. I can't help but have hope that eventually he will fall for me. But honestly I know better. My only question is: is he feeling things for me? Or is it all in my head? Could he be playing games? Could he just be looking for a good time? What is it? Because I don't understand how after all this he feels nothing.
Guys, Is he falling in love? or is it all in my head? am I just a place holder? wtf is actually going on?
