Yeah pilot that's what I was thinking as well. It seems like at first the idea of me dating bothered him but then perhaps it also fueled his fire to do it more as you say.
And Ss I agree that he is likely being cold to protect himself. I see a familiar pattern now where he comes a little closer, I act "cool" and then he retreats. So I thought I'd try to shake it up a little and go follow him into his retreat with an olive branch. It didn't seem to work.
I'm guessing that eventually if I also retreat he will come toward me again, as so far he doesn't want to let me stray too far away. But we'll see. Next time (if there is a next time) he comes a little closer I might try being a bit more friendly and open. Not sure.
