No need to be disrespecting yourself, you are who you are. If this guy was interested he would make an effort to visit you, that is what guys are supposed to do. As you have doubts, ask him outright if he sees you and he as a couple.
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.
