I have walls up, and so does he. I realize he is just exploring this becoming a divorced father thing. He showed me this article about becoming the best guy you can be after becoming a divorced man. he is taking the time to make his new status as divorced single father work for him and to become the man he wants to be. I admire it.
Be there for him. It'll go a long way.

I am in another situation that has an end date.
Why? And how is that fair to either party?

If we were ever to get together for real, I think that it would be after we parted ways for a while.
Is that what you want? In all honesty, the best kinds of relationships are where he has broken through your walls without you knowing it. And also in all honesty, it sounds as if he is well on his way. So what's the problem - what are you waiting on? Some magical sign from the universe telling you now is the time? Sorry, but it doesn't work that way.

So, I like him, we have fun, we are attracted to each other. I can only take each date for face value.
So, what's the problem? Take it one day at a time and see where things go. This "oh its better if we wait" stuff is pure BS. As the wise Yoda says, "Do or do not, there is no try."
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
