Dear gresshoppe:

You are welcome!

“My own sense is that he is genuinely nice“- some people are genuinely nice at times, or in certain contexts.

“but is trying very hard to attach to me because.. of something else that is missing? He is going to have to figure that part out.“- it could be that the something missing in his life is.. sex:

“he kept texting me all the time, saying how much he missed me. Then he started sexting me. I told him to stop and he apologized, but then he did it again“- driven perhaps by the 200 hundred million years old mammalian motivation: to mate.
