hmm you are Mercury, your romantic interest is Jupiter. i'd take Moon as his friend/co-worker, because the Moon is in 6th house of work in the sign of Sag, which is ruled by Jupiter (your interest). so you are dignified in 3rd house of communication. i'd take that as you being interested in what his friend is saying/(or said) about you. the fact that you are retrograde shows uncertainty.
he is Jupiter, detriment in the sign of Gemini, but dignified in 12th house. he is ruled by you, so he is interested in you, but there is something he may be hiding from you.
his friend Moon is seperating from you first with a trine to Mercury, than opposing your interest with a seperating aspect too.
i think your intuiton may be correct, that he said something detriment to him about you in the past with that seperating opposition. that's why your interest has withheld his affections for now.
there is also a seperating aspect with you Mercury and your interest Jupiter. again because the Mercury is retrograde. it would had been applying otherwise.
so since there are only seperating aspects from the Moon, i don't think his friend will help you out, sorry. and i think it's best you wait until Mercury goes back direct, to see more clearly what's going on with this situation.
that's my take. lol =)
