Well, that's the tricky bit I guess. How people get into relationships is different for different people. The last person I was in a relationship with, we were friends who drifted closer. It's rarer for it to happen like that, though.
Having said that, the way you describe your relationship as it is, there sounds like a lot of closeness between you and a bit of a bond. Maybe he already feels something but is scared of being hurt again (understandable).
I know this will sound like a cop-out answer but trust your instincts. You come across as self-aware and that you see the world as it is. It sounds to me like you've got good instincts and I'd hate to give you any specific advice when you'd pretty much guaranteed better off going with what you think. Oh, and best of luck, of course. I never know how many of these stories have happy endings but I always hope no news is good news and that people are just off being happy. :)
Unfortunately, there is no happy ending. We are still friends, but he does not want to pursue any sort of relationship. He is focusing on getting his life straightened out before he lets anyone else into it. I respect that.
Is it normal to get obsessed over someone so easily?

Thank you for all of that. I will trust my instincts and try to not met my emotions become too overbearing.
If something positive comes out of this, I will be more than happy to share!
