Do guys really get weirded out when you share your feelings or say something like "miss you"? It's odd keeping conversation surface level when you have other thoughts in your head but keep it suppressed to not make things weird or uncomfortable.

as long as the guy has feelings for you then they would like it a lot. i know i sure would

They don’t if they like you

Yeah, if they like you, no. But I think there needs to have been time to grow. If a girl/guy after a one-hour date says “miss you” it’s weird. But if there has been time where genuine feelings could have taken root, why not say it? If they react negatively, you know that despite the ample time together, they don’t like you as much.

Sure if it’s mutually appropriate.

How long since you saw them did you send that "miss you" message?

Aw protect your heart! Make boundaries for yourself! This will help you feel more in control and therefore free to be more authentic.
If you are a woman, the book ‘why men love bitches’ was the most incredible help for me. It just guides you on boundaries, confidence, self respect and self worth, and how to navigate dating in a way that attracts those healthier men. The other thing is an Instagram account I follow called A Little Nudge. She’s AMAZING and can be a second support for the book.

I also showed no vulnerability or weakness when I was dating for the first 8 years and therefore I was attracting the wrong men. I needed to work through that and why I was so scared of rejection. Then I found my husband and worked my butt off with my therapist while dating him to keep my head in the game, keep a steady healthy mindset, and move forward.

There’s a fine balance and context is everything. If we’re in early dating stages and you text daily wanting to have long conversations, I’d get a bit annoyed because I prefer saving those for dates. On the other hand, if I’m always the one sending the first text and don’t hear from you, I’ll take it as a lack of interest and move on.

At the end of the day though, life’s too short. Wear your heart on your sleeve and remain true to your feelings. Express yourself.

Additional Posts in Relationships

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

My fiancé will NOT stop talking about her ex. After I found out they were texting arguing she justified it by saying it was about the dogs and not them. Even though Her social media is full of his pics. She still sends him $50 a month for dog food, still goes to work right by his place and suspiciously needs keys. I try to bring it up and I get dismantled for being too mean and making “false accusations.” How much more obvious can it be?
