 Don't be alarmed!  Most likely, it is my 6-year-old son who has taken to sitting at my computer if I'm not there and starting up chats.
 
 He ran downstairs today when I got home and said, "Mama!  Good news! I'm finally talking to someone on your computer!"  I said, "Oh? Who is that?"  (It was sebby.)
 
 His older brother said, "But you don't even know him!", which protest was met with "I DON'T CARE!!!"
 
 I then explained (by IM) to Sebby what had happened (i.e., that it was my 6-y-o), and my 6-y-o was furious!
 
 So, if you're ever in doubt, and are wondering if it's truly me, I'll have to utter the password, which will be... um... PINTO.
 
 No one will ever crack that code!
 
 
 ETA: But please, keep it clean.

If he wants to show up, let him take the initiative on that.

 |  Yeah, that was a sure tip off.  dtb certainly knows how to spell unsolicited fellatio, she's had enough practice.

This has gone from dull to suicide-inducing.  You were standoffish but you got in his space but you told him you don't need to be but you want him but you're not sure and is he really ready blah blah blah.
 
At this point, even I have no idea what you actually want -- a relationship?  Happy to just bang him for awhile?  A regular dog-walking date? -- or what you've actually done towards that.  Maybe you need to figure that out for yourself, and then tell him.  Be clear -- "I like you and want to spend time with you, if it's just as a friend I can live with that but I'd really like you to fuck me, in a friendly way at least," for example.
 
My guess is he'll respond that he's just not ready for that yet, in a Thurgreed-type way.  Which I would argue is not sufficiently communicative to merit a blowjob, but opinions may differ.

Mostly I contact him first and he responds, but sometimes he initiates contact.

My roommate, Tracy, looked at me and said "Do you think he likes you?"
 
And I said "Yes".
 
Tracy said, "If you think he likes you, he does.  You should always trust your instincts on this."
 
She was right.  
 
Trust your instincts.  They are telling you he is no longer interested.  They are right.

 |  Actually, my instincts on it are that he likes me a whole freaking lot and it freaked him out and that if I leave him alone for like 5 months, he'll be in perfect shape for me, but I usually lack the patience/discipline.

Thurgreed is right.  No one will be "ready for a relationship" in 5 months.  If he will ever be ready, he will be ready now.  Because if he really likes you, he won't want you to be apart from him for 5 months.  
 
I think you could do much better. |
