First off,Please understand and intenalize this; the way a person reacts towards you loving them have little to do with you, but their own concept(warped or otherwise) view of love.
If they cannot find consistency in their view with your expression, they'll panic and run the opposite direction; leaving you feeling like you are the "crazy" one.
Secondly, a man's idea/expression of love is strongly affected by the maternal figures. And his idea of how to be a man or what it is to be "masculine" is strongly affected by the paternal figures.
Just looking at his numerological number, he is a number 2; a very senstive number that basicaly has overlapping themes sorrounding women, home, affection, belonging, security, the domestic scene. Very strong Caner/4th house themes.
You, on the other hand have a Venusian 6; balance, co-orperation, pleasure, enjoyment, sensuality, marriage, relationships,"togetherness" etc. Very strong Libra/Taurus 7th/2nd house themes.
Now, keeping this in mind and much of what you've written(which I'll qoute as I go on), I've examined your charts with respect to Venus (in your case) and Moon (in his)
Immediately, I saw that his Moon was in Capricorn; an akward place for the moon to express tenderness, nurturing and affection. He may have viewed his early life(no matter how "comfortable" his setting was as "cold" or "lacking in affection").
The fact that you mentioned he is adopted pointed me to the tense square the moon has with Venus. Tense aspects with the moon usualy mean a man who has trouble with maternal figures, showing affection or recognizing the need for tenderness within himself.
Venus square moon has trouble expressing affection to women or being vulnerable. Trouble, atleast, with women or recognizing within oneself, the needs that are considered "feminine". It also could mean a rough early home environment that tugged on his inner sense of security.
The trouble first is within oneself(Capricorn). The individual is unable to recognize his own tenderness and therefore cannot express this to others. This is the only energy one knows and this becomes his "comfort " zone(moon).
The second instance is the square to Venus. Here the emotions are expressed in a way that is averse to what one is comfortable with(Capricorn).
The expression of these emotions is fast and furious, spontaneous , superflous and sexual(Aries). One does this to detach them from what feels comfortable(Capricorn) and what's real i.e Slow, steady, consistant, non-flashy, quiet, discreet etc.
He was immediately interested in me and the chemistry was out of this world. We were both very turned on that night, but of course it was felt more strongly on his end.
Venus in Aries often reacts with excitement to love prospects and wants to get to the "crux" as soon as possible. This, however, is in direct contrast to the moon and this could give him the feeling that "it won't last" so if it happens, let it happen now and "let's forget about it".
"The second date, without even telling me, he booked a room at a hotel near the ocean where I live. I was surprised and hesitant, but I went along with it because I wanted to. The chemistry was just so good."
Again, the spontaneous nature of Venus showing itself up again. A cap moon would have behaved muchmore diffrently. It is clear that it Venus acting herein.
"After that, we went out on another date to the movies and to dinner. During that time, he passionately kissed me and held my hand in front of everybody. Like he would repeatedly kiss me passionately during the movie with his hand on my leg, and kissed me at every stop light, and whenever we'd be on an escalator. I told him I liked him at the restaurant because it felt right. He said he liked me too.
The conjunction between Venus and Mars in Aries/Taurus respectively increases his sexual fascination and makes him all touchy feely with you. Note that nohwere is the reactive square of Moon in conservative Capricorn to be found.
After that date, he disappeared for a bit, not aswering my text. He told me he felt I really liked him and that he doesn't think he could handle a relationship right now. I told him I'm not looking to dive into one either...
Finaly, the moon in Cap dives in and halts everything to a fool stop. Notice how you never mentioned that you wanted a relationship? It was HIS venus-Mars conjunction in Aries that "jumped the gun", so he was already defending himself against his own desires. Twisted.lol
The last time I was saw him was about two weeks ago. We went to the movies and he wanted to have a drink with him. We have seen each other maybe 5 or 6 times only, and the only time we had sex was that night at the hotel. He lives a bit far, yet he still drove down to see me.
Here the Venus-Mars conjunction pulled forward and wanted more of the old stuff again. Notice how he put on the charm and apologized for his "behaviour"? Again, the Cap Moon was nowhere in sight.
And he said that he wishes me well as well (as I had said in my previous message), and he said that bussiness has a way of distancing people...
The Cap Moon shows up again.This time intent on cutting all ties.
He also has an added square with Pluto(desire for complete autonomy and control)in Libra (relationships). This explains his actions and "playing them down" without real explanation. But this will show itself a little more when you get to live with him.(Libra)
With so many squares to the Moon(incuding an opposition to Jupiter), I see a commitment phobe who is disguising his vulnerability to affection bak-forth attitudes.Most of the battle he wages on himself and has little to do with you.
You left an impression; that is for sure. His Venus-Mars conjunction won't forget that, but it won't be easy with the tense square to the moon, to make it legimate(lest he work out his mommy issues-which I suspect he really has)
On you side, you have a free-flowing Venus in Gemini(as I suspected numerologically) interrupted by a retrograde Uranus and Saturn(slightly). note: a planet in retrograde is like the energy of that planet is on steroids, the reults are seldom consistently good.
The Venus -Saturn retrograde opposition with Saturn makes you attracted to older partners/ people who show a certain level of maturity/ people who are "emotionally controlled". His moon in Cap is a dead giveaway.
But with this opposition, you not sure that you want commitment though, as you really want to play the field as far and as wide as is possible. Till you have enough.
This is likely to add to his nervousness about you,; given his dicey relatuionship with women(moon).
Also, the retograde Uranus opposing your Venus does not help matters. Yes, you are extremely attractive, even downright addictive, but you can change your mind about something/someone as quickly as you formed it.
The Uranus retrograde insists in originality/spotaneity in aspect to Venus(hence your absolute "love" of PDA'S) but is also not very consistent long-term wise.
Are you sure that you not yearning for him bcause he is the one that "got away"? Your Moon-Mercury opposition suggests that you are in "two" minds about your feelings; and this is not promising at all.
