Dear Vic:

His parents separated then when he was 6. He didn’t live with his mother since then. At seventeen he wants to live with her. It is a very emotional time for him. For him, the main struggle likely, is not the new place where he is to live but living with his mother. Who knows his emotions…

I think he is otherwise occupied now: his relationship with his mother occupies him and he is not available to a relationship with you.

How to move on when you love someone, you wonder. When you feel that love for him, that attachment, missing him, endure it, feel it and stay with that feeling. Don’t panic or rush to change it any which way. Accept it as it is, notice that it is not always the same. Like all feelings, it changes, gets stronger sometimes, weaker… sometimes you forget.
