Your H is in a bad mental place it sounds like. Just a shame he won't turn towards you to work through it together. As smart as the two of you are, you'd think it'd be obvious to him. From what I can recall, he's leaned on you a lot in the past. In the past month or so, you've been more open with your emotions with him while also somewhat withdrawing that emotional support he's had for a while. Could that be throwing him off?
Well, it is what it is.
If you're not ready to "date" someone, don't. Sounds like, right now, you could get this guy into the friend zone and he'd be OK with that. Friends that are 6'4", invite you to play kickball, and spout off about Foucoult (sp?) are pretty rare.
Go play some kickball. Sounds like fun. Do earth mothers (or whatever he called you) play kickball?
