Yes, One new intellectual topic...

Well, you're the one feeling these 2 kinds of feelings. Maybe start there, why is this occurring? Is he giving mixed signals or is it just you having 2 kinds of feelings?

If the first it'd be best to get clarity from him asap so you don't end up wasting your time on someone who isn't serious.

Also, think about whether your own behaviour towards him is eliciting different reactions from him.

Hi Maj, best way, and only way, to know if he likes you is to ask him. If you're feeling romantic feelings for him, it's better to know as soon as possible if the feelings are reciprocated, or if he's just being a flirtatious friend.

If you're not feeling romantic feelings, it's best to set clear boundaries as soon as possible so you don't unintentionally send him mixed signals.

Hope that helps. Best of luck to you. 

Looking for a good man to share my life with

I learn, I think. Often hope or delusion makes me forget so, I must learn it over and over again.

Learn what exactly?
I am.
Recently had to tell a man 'no' because he's on the rebound. Been there, done that, not going there again!
He again contacted me about an hour ago as he really wants to meet me etc. Serious interest in relationship.
But I stood my ground. Not going there with someone who's recently out of a long term relationship.
Personal rule, made the mistake to not stick to it, paid a heavy price.
Not again.
So yes, I have learnt.

On many other areas as well, but I'm guesstimating you mean in the arena of love.
