What does it mean "I need you?" A different way of saying "I want you?" (Page 2)

Question

For instance, as opposed to saying they "want you." I believe there is a slight difference in the two, but what could it mean for someone to say, "I need you," to someone, from either a male or female's perspective? Personally a guy once said he "needs" me. It wasn't a sexual reference, more so an emotional and purely intimate one, but I still find myself curious to know what he meant precisely. What does it mean "I need you?" Boys and girls welcome to answer! ♡

I need you means the person in question feels an emotional attachment to you. They feel close to you and lost when you are not present :)

imssk · Answer

From emotional perspective, only a lonely person can say that. On the other hand, one can also say this to initiate a relationship with you to fulfil his own wishes. It completely depends on the guy and his circumstances.
