What does it mean if a guy apologizes for playing with your emotions?

[saturnnn]

this guy who i had liked before but he didn’t know, like confessed to being in love with me over an anonymous acc and when i figured out it was him i told him i liked him too and we talked for like a week and then i asked him to hang out and he got super weird about it. he said “things would get too sexual too fast” and that set me off so i withdrew myself a little bit and i started responding like a smart alec and he ended up blocking me, then i confronted him about it and he said i said something that pissed him off and i never heard from him for like months. we have a class together so i always see him but it’s awkward lol. anyways i came across his new instagram account and i liked one of his pictures because why not and i never really hated him. ( i used to be delusional asf) but today he ended up reaching out and he said “hey i’m sorry for playing with your feelings” i’m not sure how to react please help!

If a guy apologizes for playing with your emotions, it generally means that he recognizes that his actions or words may have led you on or caused you emotional distress. It's possible that he now regrets how he treated you in the past and wants to make amends.

However, it's important to approach the situation with caution and to consider your own feelings and boundaries. It's possible that this guy may not be trustworthy or may not have your best interests at heart, so it's important to take things slow and communicate your needs and expectations clearly.

You can respond to his apology in a way that feels authentic to you, such as thanking him for the apology or expressing your own feelings about the situation. However, it's important to proceed with caution and to prioritize your own well-being and emotional safety.

He’s kind of a weird guy doesn’t have many friends keeps himself and is mysterious, but I think that’s what drew me in I told him that I didn’t hold anything against him from that and that was done was done and then that I appreciated his apology.

You’re welcome and it’s important to remember that everyone has their own unique personality and preferences, and that there's nothing inherently wrong with being introverted, private, or mysterious. It's possible that these traits may have been part of what initially attracted you to this guy, and it's okay to appreciate and value these qualities in others.

However, it's also important to ensure that any potential partners or friends respect and value your feelings and boundaries, and that you prioritize your own well-being and happiness in all interactions.

It's good that you were able to accept his apology and communicate your feelings in a respectful and honest way. If you do decide to move forward with a friendship or relationship, it may be helpful to establish clear communication and boundaries to ensure that both parties are on the same page and that your needs and expectations are being met.

[saturnnn]

he said yes, we texted for a while (it was really good he asked for my address and we texted allll night) and then i had a manic episode so i wasn’t able to text him. i didn’t have my phone so i emailed him off my school email and was like “i’m locked up i’ll see ya later “ and he said “cant make eye contact with anyone, psychiatrists orders.” WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? but yeah after that i apologized and checked up on him bc we haven’t been in much contact and now i’m on opened and i see him at school on Monday after not being to school in 2 weeks.
