Does he compliment you back?
Thing I've learned of men, through the years, ego rubbing tends to become uncomfortable. Eventually they come to enjoy a mental challenge. I refer to what you describe, as the ego rub. Sometimes I've seen the ego rub play out as 'mirroring' them. It's not necessarily that they want' chase', it's that they don't want the pedestal as much.
Humanizing them, helps.
As far as asking, if you've done something to push away, substitute with, is everything ok? Just practice curbing that asking him.
If feeling clingy, perhaps you just don't want to lose the good about yourself feelings, being admired even as a friend.

No, he doesn't really compliment me except for my looks, when he sometimes flirts. Now that I think of it, I haven't really been told what's good about me. He does help me out with my issues though.
He usually won't tell me anything if I ask if him what's wrong. Sometimes he won't speak to me online without reason after a day of talking to him. It usually goes on for more than a day, and then I ask him. He will only then reply a little bit saying that he's not in the mood.
What do you mean by "curbing" and "humanizing"?
