To be honest, I just enjoy the closeness. I don't think he's faking about himself, but there's more to the story, I'm sure. He's a complicated individual, and I respect that. Either way, I am enjoying the experience. In all realistic terms, the chances of us getting together romantically are practically nil anyways - but the warm attention and friendship I'll never turn down. And I can be that for him in a very raw environment, so if I can bring a little healing into his life, if for no other then that end, than so be it.
