I do understand your point. I have been in a simular situation with someone I just couldn't reach, no matter how much I cared about him. Eventually I also had to accept that there was nothing I could do. That it wasn't up to me to decide that he "should" open up. It still makes me sad, but that's the way it is.

Can you imagine how humiliating it was to meet him in person and see him rejecting me?
I am putting my own feelings behind, and just being as understanding as I can. I know he has a very limiting mental disease, and despite that I still love him.

It sounds like you're making it about you - like you deserve to be rewarded for still loving someone "despite their mental disease". I'm sorry but it doesn't work that way. Loving someone does not equal accepting someone as they are. Either accept him and go as slowly as he needs to, or move on.
