Search Results: how to know if hes just infatuated

This guy and I have a complicated past with me being infatuated with him in 2012, him not reciprocating and rejecting me super hard; awkward and uncomfortable disconnect for 1-2 years, then in 2015 he got some interest in me, but wouldn't date me cause he wasn't infatuated (but was fine with a sexual relation and lost his vcard to me), all thrill and we stopped talking when our mutual friends stopped wanting to talk to me on a regular basis.

I got a new job, new friends, and a boyfriend so i stopped caring, but sometimes would just talk to him if I had some sort of favor to ask or something among the sort. We don't really talk otherwise (but he is always super happy, responsive and initiative when I do write him!)

Recently broke up with my boyfriend, my parent died and everything has gone straight to hell hah.

Recently had a convo about him helping me with some written work which he agreed to. It was late at the point and after the work relate stuff convo went as follows:

Him: "Look I really wanna ask you how you are and stuff, but I'm so so tired"

Me: "Hah, I'm fine with you not asking. It can be so, so tiring when everyone does which has seem to be the case lately" (Cause my parent died... didn't tell him.)

Him: "No I mean it. It means I'm not apathetic about your reality. So don't worry, I don't care about the standard "hows it going with work"

Me: "I know, but there's no need. I appreciate you giving off some of your time for me a whole lot! I know time isn't free, so really appreciate you sharing!"

Him: "I really don't mind! Just wanted you to know I'm not just having writing-bones in my body :)"

Me: "And that's why i appreciate your existence so muxh! Goodnight when you get there! "

Him:" You too!"
