hmm...yea, he is human, so he can like/dislike. I obviously prefer to be liked, I mean who doesn't. I guess I just prefer it to be shown and not said. Like I mentioned, he laughs...so I already know. That was real to me. Now that he had to say it, it feels more like flattery.

see...that's it, exactly. I have to over analyze it now, where as if he just spontaneously laughs its natural. I did tell him several weeks back that I was having trouble accepting our meetings as a relationship. He could be trying to prove that out....kind of like the elephant in the room.
