Losing Him.

I went over to his apartment tonight, just planning on hanging out, and we did, we had wonderful sex, but sometime afterwards stupid little me had to push the subject of dating. It kinda blew up in my face. While I've been letting myself fall for him without reservation, he had already categorized me under the file name of "Friends I Love."
I want to be more then a friend to him. I want to be someone he can vent to, to lean on, to fall in love with, to grow with. I want someone who can be that for me, and I totally fell for him, hard. And I mean hard. He's absolutely amazing. He's geeky, funny, intelligent, wonderful.
I cried for an hour or so and then came home. Of course, when I become upset, I can't speak, so I had a hard time telling him how I feel, all I could say is that I wish he would give dating me a chance. He finally explained that he's got some issues to work through and needed time ( a few months) to deal with them. I'm in no rush. I care very deeply for him, and want to help him in any way I can get through his issues (though I doubt there is really much I can do). He said he wanted to avoid sex for the time being, which is fine by me in that I can understand, and for him sex complicates things. A small part of me feels like he's trying to push me away, even though I know thats not what he intended when he said that. It was a just a knee-jerk reaction in my head, maybe because now I do feel like I'm losing him, and I don't want to.
All I can do is give him time and space, and be there for him.
To bed now. School is going to royally suck tomorrow.
We never officially dated, but it feels like we're breaking up.
I can't stop crying.
