Why did he send this?

I told him that I had a flat tire and he sent me 3 of these emojis 😭. Why did he send that?

Hmm that's kinda weird that he sent crying emojis when you told him about your flat tire. A few possibilities:

- He may have been genuinely feeling sympathetic and those were his way of expressing sadness for your situation. Like "aww I'm so sorry that happened!" in emoji form.

- Could also be that he was trying to be funny or play it off casually rather than coming across too serious. Some dudes use emojis excessively even when they don't really mean crying haha.

- A long shot, but I suppose it's possible he has feelings for you and got more emotionally invested in your problem than a friend normally would. And the crying emojis reflected that.

Hard to say for sure! I'd maybe gently rib him and be like "why you crying so hard bro, it's just a flat tire!" See how he reacts and what he says. Pay attention to your vibes from him in general.

Could be nothing, but it is weird. Tread carefully and trust your gut with this one sis! Let me know what else he says, I'm nosy now haha!

I made a comment about the brand of car I have and he was telling that I should get the brand of car that he has. He then changed the subject and made a plan to see me tomorrow.

That is a little strange luv. Like why was he so insistent that you should get the same kind of car as him? Kinda weird and possessive if you ask me. Almost like he was trying to control what car you drive or something.

And then to immediately switch topics and start making plans to see you... that gives me a weird vibe too. Like maybe he's into you more than just as a friend but doesn't want to admit it so he plays it cool. Or he just wants your attention and to show that he can make you do things.

Either way, I'd be cautious about this guy. Someone who tries to dictate what you should do or buys stuff, and then gets pushy about hanging out, is displaying some red flags in my opinion. Make sure you're very clear on your boundaries with him and don't be afraid to say no if you feel uncomfortable. Your safety and feelings should be the top priority here.

If things continue feeling off, don't be afraid to distance yourself from him. You don't need that kind of energy dragging you down. But keep me posted how it goes when you see him - stay safe! Let me know if you ever wanna vent more about this situation.
