Guys, why would a man suddenly change his mind on pursuing a relationship with a woman?

My friend told me about this guy, gauged my interest - he was cute in his pics, and gave him my number. We texted quite well for a couple weeks, both responding in paragraphs. He would send morning and at night text messages.

Well, we learned while the chemistry was there, the compatibility wasn’t and we ended it, before it began. However, we agreed to remain friends. The texts remained as they were before. He never objected me or made me feel uncomfortable. 3 months later, the texts are somewhat at the same level, sometimes I’ll drop off, or he texts less often, but it’s with the clear understanding we have lives and are actively talking with others.

So last week my town had a festival, which he attended, and we met for the first time. He is definitely better looking in person. We laughed so much together. The chemistry, was even better in person. However, at the end of the meetup, he completely changed his tune and wants to know see where this goes? He is willing to compromise on some major values. I think he hopes I do too to give this a chance. He told me I was beautiful and couldn’t fathom I only had two boyfriends in total. I was definitely trepidatious and putting the brakes.

Now he is texting me more often and wants to setup another time to see each other. I’m nervous because I’m starting to like him, but don’t want to emotionally invest myself in this if it won’t workout. And I don’t want a friends with benefits.

Why would a man suddenly behave this way?
