Beware of:

He distanced himself and did not allow him to get closer: "It is not possible. You are young, you can meet your true love!"
Yes, I am young. Only 31 are divorced. How do I tell him I want to be with him? If he never told me "you"?

You are not together yet, and he has already turned you off. How about the classic "the less a woman we love..."? He, and it is he who turned the situation so that you are ready to pursue him, whatever it costs, although if you think, such a layout humiliates a woman (and a man in the opposite situation). If he is really decent, but does not want to be with you, he would disappear from your life at your first hint on the relationship - so as not to hurt you even more. So he plays with you as a cat-mouse, and when he finally agrees to respond with reciprocity, you will go crazy of happiness. But it will not last long, because he will start wiping off your legs like a true manipulator. You’ll forget your mom and dad, friends and hobbies, and you’ll dance around each of his lusts. Until you get to the bottom (per after spending many years on it), and getting out of this emotional captivity, you will understand his ex-wives. Run now before it is too late.
