He's seriously flirting with you by touching you a lot, sounding caring. He probably noticed you need attention, so he is working on getting you interested in him. A guy can be caring without touching you all the time.
This guy wants you to touch him back, and get physical. Most guys are now too cheap to date, and figure they just want a free F@@k. A guy who likes you SHOULD ask you out, and go have fun, clothing required.
Kissing is a sign of affection, and it should be easy. He sounds creepy, like a player who is just prepping you for further groping.
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.
