Guys, what does this guy mean when he says I make him nervous?

[Anonymous]

There's a guy I have been flirting back and forth with for a while. The other day he told me I scare the hell out of him sometimes and I make him nervous. He laughs/smiles when he says this so is this a good or bad thing when he says it? What exactly does it mean? If you need more context just let me know and I'll try to give more details.

You may also ask him why. In general its a good sign. Personally if I'm saying I get nervous I mean it, and thats to express unsettling feeling. To better answer this, more context might be useful... but sounds like a thing that real talk can smooth out if there is any issue.

So this guy grew up in a highly religious family and was home schooled, he was very sheltered. I definitely wasn't sheltered so I'm spontaneous and if I'm thinking it then I'm gonna say it. We are opposites in this sense and when we are out I'm a live in the moment person so one time we were at a stoplight in my car and some guys pulled up and started revving their engine so when the light turned green I floored it (I grew up with guys, racing is normal in my small town). So I don't know if my boldness scares him in a good or bad way since he isn't use to girls acting this way because the girls he is use to are very reserved and submissive.

Ah, never worry :) it's cool. You should observe how much boldness he is comfortable with, but he meant the best :) He is into you! I also like such girls and would say the same if I meet with a mindblowing forward one. Best wishes ;) thumbs up

Ok thanks! I don't want to scare him away or make him uncomfortable so when I heard I scare him it made me anxious wondering if guys considered it a good or bad thing.

Well, making him uncomfortable can turn out good if done with care. A history like that can really keep a life enjoying one restricted, so with some light dare you may uncover really pleasing suprises :) have him explore in boundaries you know to be safe for him

Very good thing. He likes you a lot and is nervous about your reaction to anything he does. He does not want to say something which potentially can upset you.

He's anxious and shy, he laughs when saying it because he may not know how to respond to you flirting with him.

Good thing, just means he genuinely likes you, if he didn't like you he wouldn't get nervous
