I'm a bipolar/aspie woman... I've mentioned this relationship on here before but I'm more confused than ever...

He treats me like a girlfriend but denies any relationship with me... When questioned by other people or if I ask him, he says he is not interested in having a romantic relationship with me because he doesn't date MI girls based on past experience (even though he's diagnosed with stuff) and even though he's not a blood relative, he's related by marriage to me so I'm a relative. It's not sexual.

But on the other hand... He wants to spend inordinate amounts of time with me... We go out to eat at places together.... He tells me "I love you"... When nobody is around, he likes to rub my hair/back and tickles me... A lot... He wants to live with me... he said today he wants to take me to a salon and he'll pay for it...

I'm very confused as to what the heck this is... I have a lot of feelings for him, but it's getting strange. People have suggested he's trying to manipulate me for some reason. A mental health worker.... Though she probably said too much... Said they thinks he's Aspie and he doesn't know what is appropriate... But I think he does because for example he doesn't touch me unless nobody is around...

Confused!!!
