I actually made him feel he had no opportunity with me earlier. He's trying to express me for the second time now

Bc you didn't accept him the first time he's going to try again to approach you and gain your interest indirectly.

Without any specifics I can't say for sure, but in general men tend to be afraid to show our emotions, because they're often used against us.

[ProbablyClueless]

You already rejected him once. Why would he ask you again if you already told him no?

[HelpfulWoman]

some people struggle. i bet you've also tried to hint at something rather than straight up tell someone something

[Pegases]

Not enough info, but men aren't granted the same opportunity in society to express their emotions without ridicule. And most women don't realize that just as men have to create safe spaces for you to be vulnerable, women need to do the same for men that they want to open up more.

cause if you tell women your feelings directly, they'll use that to hurt you later. it is what it is.

It might be the only way he knows how or feels comfortable doing it that way

[KrakenAttackin]

Because he is foolishly still pursuing you.

Not enough info

You're going to have to elaborate anon.

[Pterodon]

Probably trying to feel you out

[Pterodon]

Why did you make him feel he had no opportunity if he really did? This is juvenile games men HATE about women

[Barbra13]

he's probably afraid of your reaction

[laly520]

why would it matter after rejection

[HotManPlayboy]

What would you like him to say?

[Asker]

When he first started expressing his love I stopped him from telling me by acting rude

[HotManPlayboy]

These are your decisions, but don't be too harsh.

[Anonymous]

He is socially awkward or backward?

[DrPepper12]

What did you expect if you blew him off?

[OhLongJohnsoning]

Have you told him how you feel

[Asker]

I'm indirectly hinting him but he doesn't seem to get it

[OhLongJohnsoning]

Tell him

[Anonymous]

Because he can’t communicate

[noohair]

He is protecting his fragile male ego.

That’s why
