I think he has feelings for you. He might be on the fence of whether or not to cut you off. He is probably thinking of all the outcomes of investing deeper feelings.
It sounds to me he was jealous you had plans. Lol Just keep showing your stable by agreeing to hangingout when he wants to gain his trust. Good luck =D.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
