What the Crap?

Ok so I met the guy named Rich a while back. He seemed like a quiet gay fellow; you know the "not fighting the gay fight on my watch" kind of guy. Tonight I asked him what he was looking for because he has asked me over to his house numerous times, wanted me to go do things with him, which we both felt were basically dates. Well now he tells me that he doesn't want anything that has to do with a relationship, that he's a loaner and has always been that way. He said "I don't want anything that resembles a relationship because to guys like us it's just 'SILLY'." Then I quickly replied that even friends have relationships with one another otherwise there'd be no friendship. He replied that it's one person putting up with another persons crap, agreeing to agree or disagree. I tell you after tonight, this guy needs to be studied. I can't believe this crap! He's led me on for over two months and then treats me this way. I mean don't get me wrong, this is the answer that I've been looking for; whether there will be anything between us or not. I REALLY got my answer tonight. He was so... seditious about... us. He's so melancholy about life. He just wants to sit at home and read his books and have nothing to do with anyone but is avidly looking for someone to have a special "friendship" with. I'll TRY to be friends with this man but I am no longer going to see what happens between us.
