Does he strike you as a "rescuer" type? Does his kindness look anything like weakness to you? Does he inspire your trust?
I really don't think he is the rescuer type. His courting style reminds me of being interviewed for a job by a firm that is highly interested in you. He pretty much came right out and told me that the first e-mail he sent me was a test for racism and superficiality. Also, he tells me a lot about how he typically functions in a relationship in the manner a potential employer might extol the benefits available. Except as I indicated previously he is the opposite of prosaic in his descriptions of the benefits.
He doesn't strike me as weak at all. There is nothing placating in his behavior even though at times he has struck me as being rather over-the-top into me because he does stuff like describe my eyes as being green with gray rims and brown flecks.
I would say that I trust him to the extent that I understand him but there is a lot of white noise on certain channels in our communications so I'm reserving judgment in those areas.
