The other day I got him to say he likes me and he said that he's already told me that he liked me and cared BUT I certainly don't remember that. You ladies know when a guy says that!! That's not something we'd forget. How do I get him to talk about his feelings for me and us more? What gets a guy to open up and say what he feels about his girl? Reply to this Question Share |

Most North American Males are still raised with the mindset that, a real man never shows his true feelings.
(don't want to look like a "Pussy")
Just look at most of the American movies that have been made in the last 80 or so years. To be a man you have to be tough, hard driving, and never show a tear.
If he's one of those guys that still believes in this kind of thing, you'll never change him.
If you find you need to hear a guy talk about his feelings, look for another guy.

It's not an issue that can be forced unfortunately. In time, he will open up to you when he feels more comfortable. Alot of people (both men and women) believe that if they open up, then they are more likely to get hurt. Others just find it very difficult to talk about. Don't push the situation, or you'll only drive him away...

Some men aren't able to articulate those feelings, or even able to really identify with them; usually expressing them through actions, like providing for you, etc.
I mean, if you really want to know, there is no harm in asking very poignant questions in hopes of getting some semblance of an answer.
