Buying Junk

[Bookworm]

Being a sweet guy and good looking helps but a relationship needs more than that, it's a two-way deal, and this sounds like it's all one-way traffic from what you're saying. You are the one putting all the effort in, and I feel that even if things get more serious that will likely continue, and he will rely on you more and more. I may well be wrong but that's the vibe I'm getting from all that you've said. Communication is vital to any relationship, so you need to open a dialogue and have an honest discussion at some point with him.

As you say, it could be his anxiety getting in the way, and none of us are perfect, I'm not judging. If it were me I think I'd just continue with the status quo for now, to see how things develop but I'd certainly be looking for more input, sooner rather than later. Your gut instinct is already issuing alarm bells, so best to pay attention to how this relationship is making you feel.
Perhaps this beach holiday would be a good opportunity to really get to know him better, and get him to open up some more?

Is he planning to fix up these old cars that he's buying?
