Why does my boyfriend say he wants to protect me?

[Anonymous]

I was just texting him that I was scared of paranormal activities and my boyfriend said he will protect me. Does he feel the need to protect me?

Well, I think because he cares about you, he thinks you are tender and wants you to know that he will be there for you when you need him.

It's just male instinct to want to protect people (and women) we care about. So in a way, he's expressing his care.

Guys feel manly when they protect a girl - awesome, just let him step up and be your man :-)

he just said something sweet :) Who wouldn't want their boyrfiend to protect them?

I think it is just a possible response to something like this, considering the scenario is completely hypothetical.

Tell him "ooh my super hero" lol. As a male I believe the instict protecting of people whom we love.

That is what he said right?

Yeah. It is irrational of me to be afraid of ghosts but he feels the need to protect me.
