Is being sentimental as a guy a bad thing?

Anonymous
I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing, but I'm very sentimental and emotional for a guy. I get very intense emotions. I know many girls want their man to be tough and manly but I'm just not. Sure, I stand up for what I believe in and am pretty confident, but I'm not a tough guy by any means. I prefer just to be myself, which is a joking, witty, and energetic guy. I mean, I'm not constantly crying or anything, and act like anyone else, but I can't hide the fact I have a gooey interior.

I'm actually pretty confident I guess you could say. I'm always trying to do self-work and improve myself and work on my flaws, so I'm not perfect but I've come a long way from where I used to be. I have no issue approaching people I'm the type of person where I'm the most nervous when I'm first meeting someone and might come across as timid at first. But once I get to know someone (even on just a friendly basis), I open up fairly quickly and a more relaxed, joking, and confident side of myself comes out. Essentially, I take a "just do it" attitude and approach girls I might be interested in but might be slightly nervous, and it shows. As a result, I think I might come across the wrong way, like a creep.

Any advice would be much appreciated!
