I think I’m into someone who isn’t as into me

I think I’m falling for someone who may not feel the same way about me—or maybe he does feel something, but not enough to show up in the ways I need.
The confusing part is that he is not a bad man. He is genuinely a good person. He takes care of his family, works hard, and tries to make his life better. I respect him. I admire him. I don’t want to turn him into a villain just because things between us are hurting me.

But maybe a good person is not always the right person for your heart.

When we are together, everything feels so good. We feel connected. We feel close. And more than anything, I feel peace. There is something about being around him that makes me feel calm, safe, and happy. We have physical closeness, affection, and a spark that I can’t easily explain.

But when we are apart, it feels like we become strangers again.

We don’t connect the way I wish we would. We don’t share our everyday lives. I find myself wishing he would call me randomly, message me just because something reminded him of me, ask how my day went, or make an effort to see me. I don’t need constant attention. I don’t want to be someone’s whole world. I just want to feel like I have a place in his ordinary day.

And I keep wondering: does he feel the same distance? Does he miss me the way I miss him? Or perhaps he does feel something, but not enough to reach out, call, or make an effort?

I don’t know.

Sometimes I feel like I’m emotionally investing in someone who is only present when we are physically together. We can share such beautiful moments, but I don’t know how to turn those moments into a deeper bond. We have closeness in one way, but we haven’t built the mental and emotional closeness I crave.

And that hurts, because I genuinely believe we could have been something beautiful. I feel like we have potential. I feel like we have a spark. I feel like we could have built a very good bond if we both wanted to build it.

But potential is not the same as a relationship. And feeling connected when we are together doesn’t necessarily mean we are building something when we are apart.

I’m tired of being the one who misses him and wonders whether he misses me too. I’m tired of hoping that the next time we meet, something will be different. I don’t want to keep going to him just because I want to feel close to him. This time, I want him to come to me. I want to feel that he wants to see me enough to make an effort.

I don’t want to force him to love me. I don’t want to ask for something that he doesn’t genuinely want to give. But I also don’t want to keep shrinking my needs just to make this connection work.
So I’m trying to understand something:

Can two people feel so peaceful and connected in each other’s presence, yet still not be right for each other?
And how do you know whether someone has feelings for you but expresses them differently—or whether you’re simply hoping for more than they are willing to give?
I would really appreciate honest advice. Not because I want to make him the bad guy, but because I’m trying to understand whether this is something worth building, or whether I’m holding on to what it could have been rather than what it actually is.
