Look, you are an amazing woman - you have been posting and advising, and you are clearly a very likeable person. This man doens't have to be THE ONE [if such a thing exists]. He may have had a bad time too . . . . .

As for being a counsellor, they really are like the rest of the world, and if they find peole fascinating from one point of view, as a writer so do you - maybe he is worried you are going to write a short story about him!!

Have fun.
