Why do I like this guy? 17.2.6

[Hawkdove]

Hello there,

Okay, well being single during the lockdowns, somehow I befriended my apartment neighbour.

He is entertaining, but not ready to settle down after his marriage separation, to the point where I think he is a bit careless of women, me included. So given this I asked why I liked him?

I received 17.2.6
17 is thunder beneath the lake
17.2 It is often tempting to stay young and innocent and even unaware of our potentials but one loses important opportunities by refusing to grow up.
17.6 Is he just a distraction?

Any guidance is much appreciated..

17.2.6 - 10 : I think the Yi King's answer tells you to be careful (10).
My hypothesis : with these two lines, I see two relationships in this 17, a good hexagram for new encounters ! But, here, there is like a duality...
17.2 : "In friendship and close relations one must choose with caution". It is about two people who don't go together. Who is this ? His ex-wife or you? I do not know. On the other hand, line 6 speaks of two people who are related : "He meets a firm allegiance and is still linked to it" (Wengu Tartarie)...

Did you originally write something about this guy being a Leo and a chef from New Zealand, and some other stuff? Or am I mixing up my readings about people getting crushes on their neighbors?

And I'm curious who's translation you are using?

I decided I was putting him on a pedestal with that description.
