So to sum it up it seems one of those 'awkward, need to break the moment' type things and shown between you both.

This might sound like detective work! But it's for your benefit and his really... what you would need to look at is how he treats his relationships. What happens within them? And do they last long?

That way you know you wouldn't be getting into a relationship together if it wasn't true love because otherwise that might lead to other issues like a broken heart.

If all is well, then at some point you're going to have to sit down together and chat about it. Or over a chat online if you want, as long as long it’s very emotionalised so everyone gets the full picture.

Mind you, what he might be relating to the term ‘weird’ is that he has mixed tendencies to fancy you. He's not saying he doesn’t but he might be scared to get into that relationship with someone so close.
