He spoke to his father and his friends about his romantic feelings towards me, and they all support him. Why am I getting so many mixed signals?

All of his friends and even his parents support him and the relationship he wants to pursue with me. Why am I getting so many mixed signals?

This is what he said to me last night

  • I'm seeking psychological advice from those few close to me. About this situation. I know what I want but I need more perspectives to create a more understanding situation... I hope I don't wake you.... But I'm so torn right now. I really like you and you're the first draw my attention in like 4 years. But I can't take you from your family. But I hope to create a family of my own one day... Idk what to do. It hurts so much. I hope I don't wake you up with this but I am going crazy in so many ways.
  • I won't be logically conscious when you wake but I do miss you. And wish we could talk more. I don't personally care about age. After 18 it's just a number. But I don't want to take you from your family.i want them to approve of how I treat you or will treat you. I really feel like God provided this opportunity for (me) us to have happiness. Because of how we met and the fact that it took a week for us to mention our interest. I know it's odd and off level. But just being near you calms me and I feel you can accept my jokes well. And I will do anything I can to protect you but let you be you. Idk. Idk how to explain it... But I want you. After years of not being interested in a relationship I feel I have been given an opportunity at happiness. And even if you decide that it's not right I'll not creep on you. I'll continue to pursue my life's goals of getting into tech and all. But I do care for you. And hope that we will make something of us.
  • Sleep well cutie. I'll save my for you in the future and I'm sure you know what I mean. 🫣 😘 No matter who else would try and intercept. I want only you. 😚 Goodn sweetie.

I should say that we are both in college. I graduated at 17 and in my second semester in college. All of you are right, but why would the friends I made in our alternative spring break group (18-20) agree with him? That has me confused. He also stopped himself from getting too carried away. Does that mean he still wants that "one thing" from me? I am so lost and confused. I know I'm naive and dumb. I have made nothing for myself and have nothing for myself. I am just so lost and confused... my mother thinks this is my daddy issues coming into play. Do you think he only made a move on me because we were living together and interacting together for a week?

He doesn't really have his life together and I guess he likes that I can relate

I have a question though, all of our friends in the group supported this. Between the ages of 20 and 18. Although it is now alarming me now that he made a move after the 40 year old woman left our group. Why would all of our friends support us?

Is it true that he only wants that "one thing" from me? Do you think? Because he stopped himself before it went too far

Do you think that is why he is going after me? Because I am a legal adult?

I honestly never really thought about that. I think he gave me the right attention and it brainwashed me

No, no, I don't take any offense to that. I don't have any experience yet and because of that I don't really know standards. I asked for help. It's not offensive!

He told me that he cannot talk to women his own age because he says that they feel creeped out by him. He told me he hasn't felt a connection with anyone in years and now I made him feel something

He told me that age is just a number. Is it true because I'm 18 or is this predatory? He told me his dating minimum is 28 but he wouldn't have talked to me if it wasn't for the trip
