We attend the same university, study different fields, different ethnic backgrounds, and different geographical locations in our homestate and other differences.

He pursued me, I never pursued him. I would observe and engage in small talk with him in passing and small/mini online conversations on fb. Then things changed where I had to move and experienced my father’s unexpected death. He offered to have me stay at the house he rented with housemates in the guest room rent free. I didn’t feel comfortable because we barely knew each other and I could sense a crush too. To now text messaging me at work in May/June casual and random but decided this one particular time to ask me out for coffee or ice cream to go to a wedding with him. I had some reservations at first because it was his childhood friend’s wedding and stuff. But I went afterwards it was some intimate moments nothing to crazy. Things were good. However, his communication skills were always lacking, I would text first. I never saw Star Wars until I met him or knew what DND group was short for which is Dungeons and Dragons.He did not know how to introduce me. He felt weird that I was leaving for a job ( I declined the job) because of my stability financially being hindered. He felt like he was leading me on and that I wanted a commitment. I never forced commitment to him; I also asked him how does he want to be introduced as the guy I am dating or friend. He would say both are fine. No problem. So now we are here...foreseeable future friendship because he wants to be single and doesn’t want a relationship. I repeat never said relationship or titles. Because of the issues from his past before me. Meaning years ago before he met me. But my question is what is all of this coming from??? I am not paying for other women’s mistakes as well as your ability to communicate thoroughly and affectivelty about what you want. I ask him 4 simple questions. No more texting on my end? No. You want me to limit my affection (hug/kiss on cheek/etc/). At first it was I’ll get back to you to now, we will do what feels natural. I asked him if he’s attracted to someone else? No! Do you want to continue to hangout with each other? Yes

So it’s...No one else, it’s i really like you and it’s me. I’m the fucked up person, you didn’t do anything wrong. My communication is bad from previous experiences What is wrong with this picture here. He even said things were one-sided. I even apologized to him if I treated things one-sided. He admittedly said...No need it was all him because he doesn’t know how to communicate or have freeflowing conversations as I do because he’s social awkward. I have this flare and style he lacks and it drives his crazy at times. 

I am giving him space to figure it (all) out. Text here and there and he engages when he wants too.  Long story short he still likes me and want to get to know me but I think it’s best to be friends. But what if he decides to re-enter the picture?
