Well, i think the answers given here for your chart show in a way that just waiting won't do it.
you might read again what Refaella said about reception.
beside that all, i think a much older man of course likes to be with a young woman, - it supports his ego. it makes him "young" as well, - that might be what he's in love with.
He might see those effects on himself when he says he loves you.
you are of course touched by the depth he creates in you. It's a man, a grown up, experienced person, and maybe, since he's an actor, a creative and sensitive perosn as well, - but be careful, - could be this is still not a shared depth, but something you alone feel, while he's "playing" it out.
There might not be a mean background, and maybe no intention to hurt you, - still, it seems likely he will do so.
Just be careful and slow. it's a good training, i think. to learn to seperate truth from fog.
