Quick Answer

Nick is one of the few people who shows a genuine interest in becoming friends with Gatsby, and Gatsby wants Nick's approval. For this reason, he feels a desire for Nick to know him. But Gatsby also wants Nick to believe the wealthy persona and background that Gatsby has invented about himself as a way of making it real.
