I am inlove with someone who just got over a bad relationship 1 year ago, but i think he is still hurt about it an he says that he is still inlove with her. Everything was going ok with us, he was honest to tell me he liked me but wasn't ready for a relationship.but we did get close, then we got into an argument having to do with trust issues and Since then though we did get closer as friends but as soon as he gets closer to me thatjust friends,(he talks to me about everything except his past realtionship) like shows some sort of sign of affection, he thenI think realizes it and withdraws and ignores me completely, then he starts again buy showing that he thinks of me or that he cares and so on, a pattern has been created. He shows signs of jelousy when i talk to others and he is always staring at me from afar, but i don't know what else to do. Do you think he is really interested in me, or just likes the fact that i am there for him and that he knows i love him. He is 29 years old and i am 26. How much longer can I wait for him...I am so deeply inlove with him. Is there something I can do without pushing him away. When I show him signs of affection he gets scared. So I haven't told him in months how i feel, i just treat him as a friend.

please help me
