Now. Given this guy's actions towards you, don't you think that might be what he's thinking/feeling about you? People think this way all the time about those they like, even at first meetings. Haven't you ever heard stories where a guy says "The first time I laid eyes on her, I thought, 'That's my future wife...'" Remember also that Pentacles can mean luck. He's probably feeling like he's never in his life been so lucky. And so he calls, texts, and comes on strong to make sure you know, without any question, that he wants you, and you shouldn't walk away from him. He is laying a claim on you like a miner who just stuck gold and is terrified others will steal it away from him.
Is this really so hard to believe? And doesn't this completely clear up the connection between his actions and the card?
I totally have to go with Thirteen's explanation. Well said! (bold effect is mine)
