Since we’re asking this I have the same question but what if it’s the girl who told me that (we’re situationshipping rn)

For me personally, I have only said this to a few people in my life and really mean it when I say it! I struggle to open up to people due to my past and how I've been treated sometimes so when I feel this way with someone and I feel that safe, I really love to tell them and it is a big deal for me to say

Depends on if it’s physical or emotional safety Physical doesn’t mean that much to me sorry women But emotionally means that you better not mess this up cus I’m trying to marry you

Gay is not an insult, don't use it as one. That's disrespectful to gay and bi people

Yeah, I really get you. I think that one’s a little harder to answer because I feel like girls tend to be a bit more open about their feelings in general but like I know, I’m very open about my feelings and that’s still not something I feel like I’d really say to someone unless I really meant it.

Does he talk to you about his feelings or does he cling to you in public

He’s definitely started to open up more about his feelings and stuff and we’re not necessarily out in public together a whole lot or really ever so I don’t really know

I mean, I really don’t plan on it at all because I really understand how hard it is to let someone in after you’ve been hurt time of time again in the past the way he has cause I experienced very similar things growing up. And like I made another post, not too long ago asking if there’s anything else I could do to reassure him because I want him to continue feeling safe and hopefully cared about

You help him by giving him a place he can come to and feel safe sharing things It’s up to him to want to heal and it takes time and understanding so your doing right by him

Yeah, I think at least I hope I’m doing that. He started to definitely open up more about things which I’m really happy about.

Trust me as a man who has been hurt and didn’t have someone to go to you are doing right by him and I wish there was more of you out there

Yeah I’m just worried I’m gonna end up liking him more than I already do and then it’ll go nowhere and I’ll be the one getting hurt again

That is the gamble with relationships you open yourself which means you can get hurt but I would urge you to live in the moment and not to fear the future cus for all you know this may be the one if you stick it out and put forth the effort

Yeah, that’s what my friends and I think I just also wanted to ask on here because if a guy was reading this and was like no girl you’re an idiot he’s never gonna want you. It would be better to know now.

Yeah I mean I feel like I just never know what guys are thinking so if I was to get on here and someone wants to be like “you’re thinking too much into it He’s not gonna want a relationship with you ever” then I’d probably take more stock in that than what my friends said

I really agree with User #6! I know every person will be different but generally speaking (and for me too), it is really hard to open up about really deep feelings and trust them with someone so I think the fact that he does with you is notable. Even if it turns out he doesn't feel the same about you as you do for him, I think he definitely sees you as a deeply close friend he admires
