feeling confused!

Ok so im not techically going out with this guy (not bf and gf) but have been on a few dates and have gotten closer. He was all over me like a rash in a club a few nights ago and i know for a fact he is shy so more than likely the drink gave him some courage. In the past i have been let down by guys who ive really fallen for in a short space of time and i let my guard down too quickly. With this guy ive tried not to let my gaurd down, be myself and sometimes the way he acts it seems as if he does genuinely like me more than a friend but sometimes hes kinda offish with me. Recently i havent been able to sleep and cry alot because i dont know where i stand really. i believe in my head and heart that i really like him because hes constantly on my mind, hes the 1st person i think of when i wake up and the last person i think of at night... yet i dont want to get too close to him for fear that i will just end up hurt again. Can anyone help me in what to do because it is really killing me at the moment!

What perplexes you is the uncertainty factor, which (obviously) cannot be resolved through inaction. Consequently, you will take this risk; because you've taken it before, and because you cannot live with yourself otherwise.
