Love + soldier = </3

So i met this guy in late january. He got stationed here, and i met him through a friend. We talked a lot and we hung out a few times. During a conversation we had one night, he asked me the question: "Do you like me more than a friend?" and before i could answer, he told me to forget about it and brought up a new subject. He was being sent to Iraq in the ending of february and i told myself that i wouldnt get too attatched since he'll be leaving. But the more we talked and hung out, the more i got the feeling that i really liked him. So the night before he left, we got to hang out one last time. I told him that I did like him, but it wouldnt have mattered since he's leaving (i think that made him not want to tell me how he felt cause he looked sad when i told him that). The whole night, we just avoided how we felt until finally, i told him that he can tell me what's going on through his head since he was being quiet. He told me that he didnt think it was appropriate for him to be talking to me about a girl back at his home (that made me kinda mad because he constantly kept giving me hints about him liking me). To make it worse, he also tells me that i reminded him a lot about his ex, which was why it was hard for him to really talk to me. >_< then he tells me that he would have started a relationship with me, but didnt tell me why he did. i'm so confused! all i wanted to know was if he liked me too, but he refused to tell me what he felt. All he told me was that if he told me how he felt, then he'll keep thinking about it when he's in iraq and he doesnt want to think about anything like that while he's up there. *sigh* that makes me really sad because he left without telling me what i desperately needed to hear, and he knew what i wanted to year, but refused to tell me. It thought that it would have been better for him to tell me he didnt like me instead of leave me hanging and wondering how he felt about me.
so which brings me to my problem. we're still talking through emails and keeping in touch. but it breaks me horribly to talk to him and not know whether he feels the same way i do. he doesnt want to tell me how he feels about me. if he tells me not to wait for him, does that mean he wants me to really move on? i dont know what to do. i've tried forgetting about him, but i dont want to be a bad person and stop emailing him while he's away at war >_< If someone could please give me a hint as to why he's doing this to me, it would really help. all i need to know is whether he does like me or not. because i really, it's hard waiting for something that's not guaranteed...

When he says move on, he means don't get hang up on him boyfriend-wise, you don't have to ignore his e-mails. and he told you why he didn't tell you, because he doesn't want to think about it whilst in Iraq. [unless I've read this all wrong.]
albeit weird, if he has a reason, he has a reason. If that's totally not what his reason was and I got it wrong, then ASK why he wouldn't tell you. we can't assume what's running through this boys head, we aren't him.

Ugh i did ask him why he doesnt want to tell me.
and not once has he given me an answer. usually when i ask him, all he does is tell me that he's no one special and then changes the subject. >_<

Well maybe hes doing it for your own good. You should respect what he is saying and think that maybe he is doing it for you. That is a very possible answer. And if you keep asking him the more angry he may become ( nto saying he is angry now ).

I think that the reason he didnt tell u the way he feels is because of the fact if something happens to him over seas he dont want u to be all caught up on him from what i understand hedoes have feelings for u but he dont want to think about it over there and maybe when he comes back ya'll can sit down and talk about it just think of it like this hes doing all this for u so give him the respect and support he needs from u and maybe hell return it
