Sorry for my long story, I just met this guy for a month. First we started with text message and phone called. We seems can talk almost everything to each other. He told he that he had BP and ask me if I heard of it. I told him I'm not aware of BP. He kind of explained to me the situation and what cause him with BP. It's all start at his work, but he taking his medication daily and see the psych monthly. We decided to meet and have a great time together. After his divorce, he felt in love with another woman for 10 yrs but it doesn't lead to anywhere so he decided to move on.

It's my false that I don't know how to handle the situation, b/c I didn't hear he called me and I called him more. Because he was sick with cought & fluid. When he told me that he wanted to take thing easy and we should started with a friendship and see how it go from there. He understand that I care for him and really appreciated me. I call him too much to the point that he didn't wanted to call me back or reply to my email. It's been a couple days that we didn't talk, so today I finally called him and he said that he will called later but not now. He also told me that he didn't want to make any commitment as right now. I don't know how to approach him that I really care for him and I'll be there for him and he will not be alone.

He's working regular 8hrs day, also did volunteer work. To me he seem like a regular person. We spend the whole morning and afternoon together on our first date and later we meet again in the evening.

I haven't seen him in manic or deppresive eps yet, and he told me that he don't want me to see it. But he said he usually want to be alone. He seem to be honest when we talk. I just don't want to push him away from me. As he did told me that I'm pushing him away by calling him.

I really like this guy and I never have this strong feeling before. I don't know how to ask him because I affraid he get hurt. Thank you

You jotted this down too quickly and its hard to comprehend. For starters you shouldnt have "strong feelings" for someone youve only known just a month... especially when they tell you they dont want a commitment. usually that means that they simply just do not want to. another thing is youve known him just a month and hes already saying he doesnt want you to see him manic or depressed. the way he makes it sound is he turns into a werewolf or something. but that is not the way it works, i think your wasting your time because hes already started to feed excuses "I'm pushing him away by calling him."
