I think I belong here....

Yes, that was the first thing that popped into my head during this conversation. He is here and he seems ever so slightly open to things. If I work on me maybe he will follow.

He doesn't want to lead me on. He is worried I will attach myself to that string of hope and he will break my heart again. Everything he does (or avoids doing) is to keep me from being strung along by him. He feels terrible that he has done this to me again. Last time he didn't care as ... This time is different.
