Why would a guy ask?

[Gene9]

Why would a guy constantly ask me to confess my feelings for him?

[slatyb]

That seems a bit immature for a 30-something. Why hasn't he just asked you out? That's what adults do.

[Gene9]

He is 25

[Gene9]

Our ages are wrong I'm also 25

[slatyb]

That seems a bit immature for a 25-year-old. Why hasn't he asked you out? That's what adults do.

[spartan55]

Because he is a moron? What makes him think you even like him?

[Gene9]

Well because I do like him, and I think he catching on to my behavior around him. But I'm not comfortable in telling him because I don't know if he likes me. Shouldn't he straight up tell me if he likes me too. Why make me vulnerable?

[spartan55]

Yes, he should. He's maybe being a coward. He also may not even like you, he may just want his ego stroked. Either way, is this really a guy you want to get involved with?

[Gene9]

No not at all. It’s hard though because of my feelings

[Gene9]

Should I reply to his apology stating that I don’t forgive him or believe him

[spartan55]

Don't let it be hard. He is showing you who he is before you get involved. Believe what? Forgive what?

[Gene9]

I confronted him and he told me he wasn’t interested and that I misunderstood the whole thing and I sent him a message saying he was playing with my feelings and he sent me a message back saying he was unaware of what he was doing and he said sorry

[spartan55]

He is asking you to confess your feelings, but he is unaware of what he was doing?

[Gene9]

I don’t believe him at all

[Guy13]

Am I wasting my Time with this one. I don’t have Time for games would probably be why

[Anonymous]

I'd like to know verbatim what he said. Did he say just that. Or is that what you took it to mean?

[Gene9]

He says that he knows that I like him but he still wants me to tell it to him verbally

[Opinion Owner]

"Constantly", you said. Hey everybody likes to have their ego stroked. Sounds like he knows you like him. But he just wants to understand specifically why that is. I mean c'mon, tell me you don't ask yourself that sometimes, "what specifically is it that guys like about me"?
I just think it's surprising that a guy would ask that. I would NEVER ask a woman that question.

[Gene9]

But there is a difference between wondering and asking someone to confess their feelings. I can wonder "does a guy like me" if I don't like that guy back. But I would NEVER ask that guy to confess.

[Opinion Owner]

Did you read my entire post? I just said "I'm surprised he would ask that question. I would NEVER ask a woman that question". For obvious reasons!
I can only guess why he did that. I'd say but I ain't trying to make you mad for a guess. 😆

[talka20]

I think he really really thinks that u love him or like him a lot but u are not saying... so he wana listen it from u... but im not saying this is right behaviour for 25 years old

[ShadowMonarch]

What are you trying to say?

[Gene9]

He says he knows that I like him. But he still wants me to verbalize my feelings for him

[ShadowMonarch]

Then I'll ask you Do you like him?
What do you think about him...

[Gene9]

Yes. But he told me months ago he wasn't ready for a relationship. And now much later he is asking me to confess? I'm confused? Why does he want to know what I feel if he doesn't like me?

[ShadowMonarch]

I think he is trying to know that do you still like him... whatever he is thinking is stupid...
Just ask him what do you think

[Gene9]

He doesn't want a relationship. He just wants me to tell him that I like him

[ShadowMonarch]

You are not a pushover,
It's your life
You choose what you want to say
Just tell him to get out of here

[Gene9]

Thanks for the help :)
