what does this mean.... help :(

i feel so guilty for posting this but I can't keep it to myself anymore. I've been dating a guy for a little over 7 months now, at first we were good, but as time passed he became aggressive and threatening, and just uses any excuse to come make a scene at my door. So by him doing that, I started talking to my "ex". Not really an ex, just someone I had a very good connection with and felt like I once loved. I've been texting this "ex" for quite some time now and I saw him 3 weeks ago, and it was the best time of my life! this guy never mistreated me in any form... So i told him that I feel like he is someone I can never have cause he's so attractive and many girls want him, But for some reason he pushes them away and always comes to me. So he texted me saying that why can't I understand that he is drawn to me? what does it mean when someone says that they are drawn to u?
