You've sworn off relationships. Spencer's never had one.
The moment you first enter the BAU, Spencer is inexplicably drawn to you. However, he quickly comes to find that you're more distant than his favorite lenticular galaxy (which is approximately three hundred twenty-seven million light years away, for the record). Spencer knows better than to assume that what meets the eye-that is, a cold and painfully aloof demeanor-is all that's to be found.
His assumption would be correct. You only keep your heart locked away in a (nearly) impenetrable fortress because you're tired of it being mistreated. Although you've been deeply hurt in the past, there's this little glimmer of hope onto which you cling desperately. The truth is, you want nothing more than to offer your trust to someone, to be completely vulnerable with them, and to feel utterly safe. Your track record of interpersonal relationships-friends, family, the like-may suggest that you're just too jaded to love again.
Good thing that Spencer loves a challenge.
