What does he mean when he says that I make him vulnerable?

[Anonymous]

The other day he told me that I make him vulnerable and I'm speacial because no one could ever take his "mask off" as easily as I did. He wants to be known as a heartless guy with no emotions but he can't be that with me. He feels like a human again when we're together. He says he likes what I do to him but it also scares him a little bit. He said that no one ever had that kind of power over him

Oh! This is very sweet and it means that you have the potential to make him fall in love with you. He must already have some feelings. To be honest this kind of guys rarely find people with whom they open (as you said, he said you are the only one). So they find it unique and want to hold on to that person. He likes it because he can finally be free with you and is scared because it is unusual for him and ALSO because you have the power now to break his heart - which no one else can. This is why he may try to cut you off, to protect himself and his emotions. If you don't like that guy, please let him know before he falls in love and don't break his heart. If you do like him, you can use this situation for your gain. Just convince him that you won't hurt him and you can be trusted.

Yeah some guys are so repressed, you got to watch out for them regressing and regretting that they opened up. I've sort of opened up a couple of times with close guy friends and I literally felt physically sick afterwards and regretted it. It stupid and I can't justify it, but I just feel so uncomfortable with it, I'd imagine it'd feel more okay with my hypothetical SO though. But I'd still watch out for it if I was the girl.

Aww this is so sweet! My crush tells me the same thing. He's able to share his fears with me and I cry on him which evokes a paternal instinct in him. If you met him you'd think he doesn't have emotions lol

You should feel really happy! What he means by "taking his mask off" is that he feels like he doesn't have to hold back anything with you because he knows that you will accept him no matter what.

What are you wondering about, he means what he says. I'm like him, kind of. Suddenly a woman comes along that just gets me to drop my guard. It takes a beautiful to do that. Someone who can just see into me, so there is no use in acting, hiding..
It's scary, because when you are able to meet him - the real him - that also means you can hurt him. If you don't accept every part of his authentic self, that can hurt.
When you spend so much energy trying to hide your feelings and true self, it's pretty scary when someone just has access to all that, but it's a beautiful thing.
Take it as a massive compliment - to trust you that much, it must mean he loves you a lot.

Im very open with females and I understand him. You bring down his wall and he can be open with you and hold nothing back, he feels safe telling you about his deep thoughts or emotions and that can come back and bite him if anything were to happen with you two. So it's good that he feels safe with you and he can talk to you but he knows the possible lashback and is scared that something might happen and if something happens he doesn't want to get hit with the backlash of being open.

[Jaquav]

I'm the same way, no one knows who I am or what I want in life. I never talk to my parents, but 1-2 friends know some personal things about me, like hopes and dreams. I don't want people to know that aren't my hypothetical SO, I'm private.

[AnomalyGuy]

Clearly you mean A LOT to him. More than everyone else. I'm similar to your boyfriend. Except, I don't need a "mask". I hide my emotions well. But he hides his emotions and only you can know what he really feels. You should feel amazing and special.

[Peachman]

Ever heard of the term "mental walls" yeah he has those up, you waltzed right on through them thats a good thing for you, and he is scared because he dosent let many people through those walls

[coltonious]

basically he's talking as though he's a super hero. I didn't even have to read the description to understand that. It means he is really affectionate towards you and someone could use you to get to him

[podski111]

I think he is just being short of saying he loves you or certainly likes you a lot... It's his way of sharing his emotions about you. I think anyway.

[Nice_Guy_Last]

You matter a LOT to him, is what he's saying. So much so that he can't fake it like he feels like he has to with other people.

[emerald77]

It must be scary for him to feel like he can't hide anymore.

[Asker]

I don't want him to be scared. And I don't know what to do..

[johnmichaei]

it means you've got inside of him baby something he was not ready for did not know that could happen he's a little vanilla man with you

[lala_ray]

he let his guard down for you!!! he cares for you and believes in you blindly.. may be he worships you... I don't know lol

[Anonymous]

That you make him open up to you and he trusts you a great deal.

[Anonymous]

It means he's scared to be around you because he could get hurt

[Anonymous]

It means you making his wall tumble he close to opening to you

[Whatthefluff]

He really likes you
