Update:

he kept a penny that i gave him two weeks ago. I gave it to him to scratch a lotto ticket. He told me last night that he kept it and looks at it sometimes....this just creeped me out...he says that he thinks about me before he goes to sleep and thinks of the conversations we have and plays them in his head

we've been dating three weeks...I wanted to get to know him...and then fall in love...he hasn't given me the space or time to do this...I feel he has potential but he's just pushing it....the last time that I brought up that i need some space...he cried...I wasn't asking for too much when we only knew each other less than a week...I think this is just nonsense...he's 25
