One flag for me is that he told you about this "wonderful, beautiful woman" who dumped him ---- knowing that you have issues with abandonment and that "[you]'re both kind of trying to figure out this relationship because [you]'re both carrying a lot of baggage, and while it feels very safe and comfortable neither of [your are] really open to moving it forward quickly at all." He is a behavioral scientist, yet he feels comfortable telling you he is dating and was dumped by that someone. I'm kinda struggling with that a bit. Why would he tell you that, knowing how sensitive you are to this sort of behaviour?
I will go through your other posts and see what else peaked my ears (I am not, BTW, saying he isn't a good friend, but as for a R, I just wonder). In the meantime, go to a bookstore and while browsing, say "hi" to someone, anyone. 'Kay!?
