Hello CP,
glad to help. Your final spread about how he sees you is both simple and subtle.
On the simple side, I see two times the idea of friendship. II and III regard each other in the past and present positions, and the solution in the future looks to be friendship as well.
The subtle part is that XXI The World is the best outcome imaginable, and it is reversed. The solution card XVIIII The Sun is also a wonderful energy, yet here I am tempted to call it the Next Best Thing, the second best outcome. This is emphasized by the final card, XV, suggesting the bond is there but not everything that you wanted. There is some limitation you have (or in this case, he has) to put up with.
Hmmmm, is he already in another relationship? The one thing to watch out for with The Devil in the future, even in upright position, is to be wary of creating karmic problems: for instance, if he can't be with you because he is in a committed relationship with someone else, and your presence is a seduction for him, then you could create karma for yourselves if you are not careful. But that is just something to be vigilant for, not a prediction
hope that helps!
