Search Results: mixed half

I have known this guy my whole life. His mum has been friends with my nan since before we were both born so we are family friends. He is 24 and I am 20. We lost contact for a bit over the years but reconnected properly 2 and a half years ago and both told eachother that we had a crush on the other when we were growing up. Since then we have spoken often but never dated. We go through the same cycle of saying we like eachother and want to make it "official" but he always comes up with something afterwards like "i have commitment issues", "I'm not ready for a relationship" or "I don't know how my mum would react". We meet up every few months and usually end up being intimate then he ghosts for weeks or months. We have a good laugh when we are together and it could be amazing if we saw eachother more often. He got out of a very physically abusive relationship with a girl where he had to get a restraining order, so I always use that as the reason he might be scared to commit. I met his mum recently which seemed like a big step cause I didn't see her for the 2 and a half years we were talking and she is the most important person in his life, but I still feel like I am getting mixed signals from him. Don't know whether it is time to move on or whether I might be getting somewhere.

So there’s this boy I’m friends with but he is sending me very mixed signals. We first met when he DMed through Instagram telling me how he liked my VSCO. We talked everyday non-stop for about a month and half after that. We took a short break in December but have recently picked things back up.

I can’t tell if he is interested in me romantically or trying to test the waters there or if he is just genuinely that open/friendly. He talks about his love languages with me, embarrassing moments, his hopes and dreams, etc. When I got up the courage to ask him to be my valentine he said “ I don’t think we can’t be Valentine’s if we aren’t in the same city”. This then became another conversation about why I thought he didn’t wanna meet up in person to which his reply was **check out image below**

I’m just genuinely confused because we talk about some pretty personal stuff and he is always so attentive and apologizes if he leaves me in read or doesn’t reply for a while and is concerned I’ll think he’s a dick. The he calls me “the goat” and tells me when I’m overthinking. There are just so many mixed signals.

Even after ALL of my emotional freak outs he is still talking to me and so sweet to me. HELP! Is he interested in me or is he just a nice guy?

**by the way he’s shy**
**and he is likely transferring to my university in the fall because he hates the one he’s at currently and likes mine better**
