Good point, justifying it doesn't change the fact...

I use to think that way a very long time ago. Matter of fact, I ignored many things that I shouldn't of and there was always complications I could have avoided had I just paid more attention.

There are just to many people who are fun, and less complicated, and more compatible, that you can be comfortable with, and less worrying about.

But I can understand your curiosity, but when in doubt, be a lot more cautious, and pay closer attention just to protect yourself.

Trust me, I have met all kinds, from one extreme to another, and paying attention who you give your heart to is about the best advice I can give you.

Great advice, thank you!

I read your story. He seems rather too much in himself, until you nudge him. What are the things he is focused on? For e.g.. Too much work or some other crisis going on at this time? How does he view his life at this point? For some reason he doesn't seem invested in the relationship as if his attention is some place else (may not be a girl, but work, goals, disappointment with life etc) and relationship feels like a security blanket under these conditions. Along with this, perhaps just hasn't learnt yet what a proper amount of investment is!
