How do you get a homeless guy that is telling me he not okay to accept help?

Like, ever since I learned, I have been sending him nightly texts to ask if he is ok and idk I get the impression that he wants me to insist that he comes over to take a shower and get out of the heat, but...I mean I am not going to insist unless it is extremely hot or there is very bad weather. He is an old friend, so it isn't some random person.

Idk, maybe I should just leave it alone. I might post some screenshots as I might be reading wayyyy too much into it. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

I think it is enough that they know you are they if things go truly rock bottom for them. So I guess the best thing to do is just keep in contact with them.

They seem to be doing okay for money for now, judging by their stance on being self-reliant.

get a gym membership. $20 a month can shave shower brush teeth and have a real bathroom every day
and something to do for an hour or two
Not sure what $20 a month is in my currency - Here it's probably about $15 - $20 a week.
If fat means flavour then I'm ******* delicious!

That is actually a really good idea. Better than his random hotel night which has to cost him around 100$/night at least. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

He said he lives in his van outside of his job, so I do believe that he isn't rock bottom yet. Idk, he keeps telling me he isn't ok in one way or another but in a lot of conversations, he doesn't want me to 'make him feel bad' about his situation. (Like I asked him what he was going to do fir the winter, because he will die if it gets too cold)

Idk. He doesn't strike me as one to kill himself, but he keeps telling me one way or another that he isn't ok, but refuses help. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

@Krista, it seems like he is crying out for help but too proud to accept, keep doing what you are doing and eventually he will accept the help.

Maybe. I can't spend hours and hours talking to him out of fear that a rather difficult situation involving feelings may arise (never, ever making that mistake again), so I hope he will accept the only other help I can provide. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known
