What do men mean?

[aksy]

I have always wondered what do men mean when they say I am afraid to fall in love with you ....

Ask the one who told you, that doesn't make sense to me.

[aksy]

NO other suggestions??

It can mean many things but mostly it means exactly what the statement suggests. It means lack of trust. If someone told you this what they are basically saying is that they are afraid of being in a relationship with you. Why? I don`t know. My guess would be that somewhere along the line that person might have gotten the impression that they would get hurt from you, or that they feel that they could not rely on your as a romantic partner. I can tell you from my own experience that when I told someone that line, there was a good reason behind it.

Men, generally, would just walk it rather than give implications. When a man would say that, he surely means what he says. It's not that he's not into you, actually, he may feel something for you but is kind of reluctant to go further because of the foreseen circumstances. You may have given a slight caution that by loving you, comes pain, and he would rather not push the feeling.

Means "I don't WANT to fall in love with you". My guy had all sorts of nasty (well flirty) stories about me; was warned that I'd be no good for him. He still fell in love with me no matter how afraid he was.

He could also say this as a way to get you into bed. "I'm afraid to fall in love with you..." to give you the impression that he's a sweet, sensitive guy. What he's leaving out is, "but I'm totally fine sleeping with you anyway."

Just a thought.

If it I were to say something like that it would mean that I'm afraid that I'd get hurt. Men have feelings too, we just don't show them

[V.I.P]

I hope good luck for you ..

Assuming he's being HONEST, he's saying that he's afraid of falling in LOVE with you.

That's IT.

See, women like to read deeper into a man's words than necessary.

If a man says he's hungry, he's probably hungry.
If a man says he's horny, he's probably horny.
If a man says he likes a certain movie, he probably likes that movie.

Now, that's not to say that men never LIE, because many DO. But we aren't like women. You don't have to decipher what we say as if there's always some hidden meaning behind it. That's not normally the way we operate.

Sometimes, "it just is what it is."

I have always wondered what do men mean when they say I am afraid to fall in love with you ....

maybe he is just afraid that you will not love him back ?

[xxazurexx]

Or maybe he uses it as an excuse, not to be in a relationship with you.

[hello1]

Maybe he has been hurt in the past so afraid to fall in love?

There is an element of warning in this statement in my opinion...

The guy does not know how far he is willing to go with you (from physical to emotional)...by saying this he might be asking you for some time.

Up to you what you want out of this...if you're in for something serious delay sex and see how you get on...

It means he's an expert of mixed signals.
