I started talking to this guy in August of 06, and we hit it off right away. We talked nearly every night, and there was a strong connection between us immediately. After a couple of months of chatting, we expressed attraction to each other, and all was good.
We spent an amazing holiday together (Thanksgiving), I went to celebrate with him because otherwise he'd be alone and I told him I wouldn't allow it. It was wonderful. However, we fell suddenly out of contact because the s**t hit the fan in his personal life, so I let him deal on his own.
Now, a week ago we spent 6 hours on the phone. He spent most of the time telling me how amazing I am, and how he was scared to lose me from his life because of the BS. He admitted to feeling as strongly about the situation as I have been feeling. Yet, now I'm scared he doesn't want to be with me. How does that make sense? I tell myself it isn't easy for guys to say those things so outright, but it's no real comfort. What to do???

Like I said, it doesn't make any sense for me to be so worried. Where I'm at, is that I think he really could be the one I'm looking for, but despite his openness, I can't seem to get to the point to tell him anything about what I really think... I've had a couple bad situations before, with falling too hard, and so has he, so I know we're both scared about the whole thing... I just don't know much of what to do, I don't know how honest I can be without scaring him away, or putting myself in a place where it's gonna hurt too much.
He's not the kind of guy who likes to admit to being vulnerable, and he doesn't like to ask for help. I'm much the same way. I think it's because we've both been hurt. At the same time though, I know that if he doesn't allow himself to depend on me, I won't be able to depend on him... any suggestions??
