We met 3 weeks ago.
We are friends and, I think, something more. I mean, I feel there is "something" between us, it's just that I don't know/understand what. I like him a lot, I would like to have a relationship with him, or at least to try to.

I asked:
What does he want from me?
The answer: 27.1.6 > 2

Does it mean that:
27.1: He is already involved, but he's looking at me with hungry mouth hanging open.?Or maybe he's doesn't appreciate what he has (that would be me) and he looks greedly to another (woman)'s magic tortoise?
(Never asked if he's already involved with someone else, my feeling was that he wasn't.)
27.6: He will finally cross the great river, i.e. make that move that I am waiting for / getting involved with me? I.e. nourishing me and nourishing himself at the same time.
Or maybe it's about putting an end to this... to what is happenning now between us?
2.0 seems to be auspicious, an outcome rewarding a mare's constancy/persistence.

Someone could help me to see clearly, please?

Thanks.

any idea about this reading?...

Wrong way around

The Yi seems to be saying that he is envious of you. To him you seem to be a very nurturing person, and he admires you for that.

Simona, it would be better to ask your question from your own point of view instead of asking about what he wants from you. What you put things the wrong way around, it makes the answer very difficult to interpret.

Hexagram 2 as your relating hexagram means you are very receptive to hearing the answer of the Yi.

When you ask, "What does he want from me?" this seems to imply that he is already asking too much somehow. Do you sense that he is asking you for something you don't have? Well, he seems to be seeking sustenance and even spiritual nourishment, perhaps in the form of good conversation, perhaps in other ways, and he seems to see you as the source of this.

It just flashed on me: I think he is waiting for you to tell him what you are looking for in a relationship!!! Don't be so judgmental about him wanting things from you. We all want things from each other, otherwise we wouldn't be people. But don't take the lead. If you could be less iffy and more welcoming, this relationship might find the shape and form it does not have right now.

barbra, thank you for your answer.

maybe it was the wrong translation of my question (English is not my native language). a mot-à-mot translation of my question would be something like "what does he desires / wishes from me?". I don't know if it helps to clarify the question.
anyway, it's not about him wanting/asking too much. it's rather the opposite. as I said, we met a few weeks ago, there is something (more than just friendship, in my opinion) between us, but I don't understand what it is, and he's not helping . my question was more about "what would he like to receive from me?", because at this stage I don't understand if it's friendship, working together someday or more than that (a romantic relationship).

anyway, your interpretation ("To him you seem to be a very nurturing person, and he admires you for that.") describes pretty well how things worked between us till now. I know he admires me, and I admire him a lot. I'd like to understand what continuation he'd like this "friendship" to have.

it's complicated and stressful, because it's the first time, after a long, long time, that I like someone so much and this uncertainty is killing me.

thank you.

I've had this answer about a guy once. What it turned out to mean in that case was,
that he was the type who has nothing to give and only wants to take. The type who
will never make a first move, but expects everything from you. Also i have found
that with questions about two people, where the 1st and 6th line only change, the
two people involved are too far apart, and the situation does not last long. My guess
is that even if you do show you like him, and are open and welcoming, he still isn't
going to do or show anything. It's already worrying that already you can't figure him
out. If he truly liked you a lot and if he was a good catch ;-) i believe he would already
have shown interest and flirted with you. I do hope i'm wrong, as you sound to like him
a lot. Good luck!

uf!

thank you, diamanda.

hm. thinking about that, I asked:

"What can he offer/give me?"
Answer: 53.5 > 52.

hm.
LiSe speaks about taking things day by day.
Bradford speaks about the gander who has waited the third of his life ("he" is his 30's) to find this young goose by his side. Problems which earlier had no solution, when all of the pieces just were not there yet, seem to resolve themselves. The unconcieved and unhatched dreams now have a world to live and grow up in.
Wilhelm speaks about one who "is misjudged by the very person on whom one is dependent–the woman by her husband, the official by his superior. ... But in the course of further development, such misunderstandings are cleared away, and reconciliation is achieved after all".

Marriage

Isn't 53.5 the line of the perfect marriage in a certain kind of relationship, the kind that develops slowly over a period of time?

The woman in this case is more mature than the man. He is a bit immature by comparison. He needs time to come into his full manhood. Whereas she can be seen as already being in full womanhood. And so, she has to wait in a gentle way for a period of time for him to catch up. It doesn't have to be three years or whatever the text says. But it is like a formal period of engagement, in which the two people gradually approach each other and their union brings supreme good fortune.

I'll let you know, barbra, and if we marry you'll be the bride's maid of honour.
