How Come they never show emotion. I want to connect on another level other than physical. I know that there's more to it but I just feel like he hides his feelings. How do I make him feel comfortable with sharing his feelings and let him know that I want to see a softer side.
Don't miss one of the biggest compliments we give you. And its non verbal. One of the biggest compliments a guy can give a girl is to hang around her a lot. The more we hang around the girl the more we like her. If he is around you a lot it is a way of showing you he likes you. This waitress at a coffee shop near me caught on that me and my friend were comming every sunday. And she only works on sundays. After a few sundays the girl started saying o this will be our date day. And I know ill see you hear next sunday. Then she would smile and walk away. Yes it was embarresing yes my face turned red. But the girl wasn't stupid I can tell you that.
Every time I've tried showing feelings/thoughts on a subject to a girl I've gotten responses like "oh man" or "what do you want me to do about that?" or "o I c" or gotten a change of topic or some other remark that's made me not even want to bother, so I wont. Then I once sarcastically told someone that I'd "just bottle everything up like I'm supposed to" to which I got back "lol, ok".
Because if feels embarrassing. It also makes you a little more vulnerable and allows somebody to have some power over you which can be very uncomfortable. The more trust you build the easier it will be for him to open up, but some men are never very comfortable expressing emotion beyond the more socially acceptable emotions (for men) of anger, or excitement. Anger in men can cover for a lot of different things that they would prefer not to expose or make vulnerable.
guys will always do that because we tend to think that girls are offput by it and that they will think we are weird plus guys don like seeing other guys cry or being seen by other guy when there crying
Time. That's all there is to it. Time. Trust and comfortability is built over time. I myself have shown all this stuff to only one other girl. And I've yet to find another worth sharing with like that.
If you wanna look at it from a nature/animilistic point of view which is what we humans boil down to if you ignore the complications we add; men are built to be a stronger species (not in all cases, ladies) and kinda taught growing up not to be so emotional. At times we may feel that it is a sign of weakness. You have to get to a point where you can help drop those defenses. I think it usually inevitable if there's love forming between the two.
Guys don't often show emotion ,because in society today most of the time they are seen as pussies. If they are old fashioned ,back then it was considered wrong to cry as a man.
A way to get him to open up is to find a topic he feels strongly about. Maybe start off small ,get him to show a bit of emotion and try to build that up. Be careful though ,guys have feelings they don't want to share sometimes ,memories they would prefer to keep to themselves.
Yeah.. I see what you mean in 2yrs I've seen him "tear up" once and actually "shead a tear" once. The first time was when he fumbled @ the state championship game which caused a lost. & when he actually cried was much more personal... (His dad) I just wanna feel more! Is that wrong of me? - More than a year ago

Not at all. It's part of human nature to want to be close to the ones we love ,physically and emotionally. The Championship would probably bring up some anger and shame because he might be embarrassed that he didn't make the catch and that he lost the game for the team. It's not often I open up to others either ,but when it does it happens in great bursts I find.
Remember ,emotion doesn't need tears and there's also the other end of the emotional spectrum like happiness. Did that help ? - More than a year ago

Why should I spew emotions everywhere? I, like most guys, like to deal with my problems internally.
Im not talking about being "emotional" like a girl would be I'm just saying we've been together for 2yrs and I still feel like we don't connect on an emotion level. - More than a year ago
