he is just being nice, right?

It is difficult to tell. There is no way I could be sure from a remote position, with just a little bit of information to go on.

He said he has trouble connecting we people, so be mindful of that. Sensitive, respectful, helpful. But don't sell yourself short either.

I'm not depressed, but I know that being depressed, can drain all energy for complicated emotional thing like relationships.

If he is severely dressed, then maybe this not the priority now. You can be a support, but severe depression really need professional help. On the other hand he is coping with work generally?

violet: I don't think that is true. Either they are interested, or they aren't.

I wonder what happened to that b!tch waitykatie.

Smudge - I respectfully agree with your statement that a person is either interested or not. I also agree that relationships can evolve from type to another. I think a lot of people would agree that for many people, it takes a while for them to get to know someone and be comfortable around them to the point that they are (or not) ready to move on to the next phase. Shy people are especially hesitant. If someone came up to me and asked me point-blank if I would date them, then I would have to be honest and think to myself "I'm not interested in this person, but I don't know them that well either". I would want to give the person a chance by getting to know them. I don't think it's good practice to terminate any possibility of a friendship or relationship at first sight. The point that I am trying to make is that yes, I do believe a person is interested or not, but it can take time to come to that conclusion - unless a person is just not willing to be an approachable person and is a negative person all around - which is not good.

Violet, yes maybe I am too harsh on myself and also Very impatient.
Thanks for sharing your experience

0- I'll say his depression might be causing him to shut down and I'll just leave it at that since I can't connect other dots besides that =_=, thanks for the opinion

Smudge, I also tend to see things black and white, simple:
