Capricron man fatal attraction

I met with a Capricorn man a month ago. I had not seen him in 45 years. He is now 63 and I am 61. We grew up in the same small town. Extremely handsome when he was younger, many girls admired him. Coupled with his good looks, he was a football and basketball star. I never knew him that well, because our different religion separated us. His brother and I were in the same graduating class, and his brother has, consequently, kept in touch with me over the years, inviting me to attend class reunions. Mr. Capricorn called me one day asking me for advice, and that when he subsequently invited me over to his home in a nearby state. I had refused to meet with him many times before, but I agreed to it this time. On the day that I met him, I was simple, but elegantly dressed. I tried not to look too pretentious, as if I was trying too hard. He met at the train station when I arrived. He stayed in his car and did not get out to greet me. I gathered from our phone conversation that he wanted me to be on time; however, being late for dates is not one of my flaws. The moment I met him, there was an attraction. He was reserved, introspective, melancholy, humorous, and, of course, bossy. I supposed some of his bossiness stems from the fact that he has been a high school basketball coach for 28 years. The one aspect of the visit that was noteworthy was that he allowed me to set the pace. He did not make any sexual advances toward me. Nonetheless, he talked about his sexual exploits, and I surmised that sometimes men think that this will encourage a sexual encounter. This did not bother me, because it revealed a lot to me about his sexual needs. Though he lives alone, he has a daughter with a Scorpio woman, and he had two pictures of them on a night table. He told me that having the child with the woman changed his life. So, I gather that this woman means a great deal to him. He had two pictures of them on a night table, as well as pictures of his daughter. I questioned the photos of him and the woman. In spite of the negative and the positive, I left his home wanting more of him than he had given. I know that Capricorns are slow, but this is too slow. I have talked to him since I visited his home. He never alluded to any language that would suggest that he is interested in me romantically. In fact, it seems that he is trying desperately to avoid me. It has been approximately two weeks since I have heard from him. The silence is driving me insane. Thoughts of not hearing from him again compel me to tears. I am smitten; but I feel embarrassed about my attraction to him, because the feeling is not reciprocated. All of my thoughts revolve around him. He has me in a dream-like state. It seems to be a fatal attraction all on my part. Am I being foolish, I know?
