Guy friend said he feels at ease/relaxed with me and can let his guard down a bit. What does this mean?

He acts like he likes me- but says he doesn't like me because he can't connect to anyone...

[Anonymous]

Nothing. Don't read into it. Most guys aren't cryptic. He most likely said exactly what he means. Which is pretty much "I've known you long enough to know your not going to judge me and change the way you treat me based on a few quirky things I may do"

[ak666]

It either means exactly what he said or he's saying that to charm you or both.

He acts like he likes me- but says he doesn't like me because he can't connect to anyone... He does have some issues

[mghowmasculinist]

It means that he mistakenly thinks you won't judge him if he cried like a baby on your shoulder one day.

He's comfortable with you and trusts you a LOT. I know as a guy myself, I always have my guard up and seeming ready for something. I don't know why, but I do.

I'd love to have a girl I can relax with.

It means he feels at ease/relaxed with you and can let his guard down a bit.

[Justalarry]

He feels good around you

[takumii]

In what language do you want us to decipher that?

[Anonymous]

he likes you, just can't admit he does

[Erinrogers]

Maybe he doesn't even realize how he feels yet? Is that possible where the guy doesn't know how he feels yet? (He is a bit immature)

he likes you

[Erinrogers]

That's the thing! I asked how he felt about me and that was his response. "You are like all my fiends I feel at ease with you and can let me guard down a bit"

[NerdInDenial]

He trusts you

[Erinrogers]

Can you trust someone without feeling any connection with them?

[NerdInDenial]

He has a connection with you; it just might not be romantic.

[Erinrogers]

That's funny to me because he said he feels NO connection to anyone. Yet he's touchy with only me, always text me first, tells me his deepest secrets, face lights up when he sees me, and usues my name all the time. I'm so confussed because when I asked how he felt- he said he feels at ease with me and can let some of his guard down.

[NerdInDenial]

He says that because he fears getting hurt; maybe, he hasn't realize how he truly feels about you.

[Erinrogers]

Yeah. That was going to be my next question for you. Is that possible for a guy to NOT realize how he feels? And his actions is a subconscious thing

[Anonymous]

He likes you or he just trusts you.

[Erinrogers]

He acts like he likes me- but says he doesn't like me because he can't connect to anyone...

[Opinion Owner]

Hmm well if he feels comfortable around you he has to feel some kind of connection with you.

[Erinrogers]

Thank you! He's also touchy, inneciates all text, face lights up when he sees me l, tells me everything and uses my name all the time when he talks. But sticks by his guns that he can't feel connections with anyone but he does feel calmer and relaxed with me. So confusing!!

[Opinion Owner]

Maybe he says that because he's afraid he'll be vulnerable. The way he acts around you looks like he likes you.

[Erinrogers]

Maybe he doesn't even realize how he feels yet because the actions are there like you said. Is that possible where the guy doesn't know how he feels yet? (He is a bit immature)

[Opinion Owner]

It could be that. The thing is though is that guys sometimes are afraid to admit our feelings for the girl we like. He could feel the same way.

[Erinrogers]

Thank you. So on a 1-10 scale, 10 being he likes me where do you put him?

[Erinrogers]

Also can you trust someone who you don't have some feelings for? Thanks again for being so helpful

[Opinion Owner]

That's tough because I never seen how he acts around you in person. I say around a solid 7 though. I may trust someone I had no feelings for but only for very small stuff. My trust usually goes up the more I have feelings for someone.

[Erinrogers]

Okay thank you so much for help me. You are so cool and great

[Opinion Owner]

thank you. I appreciate it.

You're a good friend
