When a guy says ‘I don’t want to hurt you,’ is it just an excuse?

is it just an excuse for the most part I know everyone’s different

Every sadist says that. If I don't want to hurt others I just don't hurt them. It's simple.

"Hurt" is how you react to what's done to you. Even if someone does a hurtful thing towards you, it doesn't mean you have to let yourself BE hurt by it.

It means he thinks you're a precious little angel made with all the things that make up unicorns and pixie fairy dust.

That is what they usually say before they do really hurt you.

My aim on GAG is to decode all this messy, confusing love stuff for you, babe 💘

When a guy says “I don’t want to hurt you,” it’s usually code for “I’m not all in” or “I want out without looking like the bad guy.” Not always malicious, but definitely a soft rejection. Big waving red flag. Believe his words, not his potential.

It depends on what happened. Maybe was just aloof, and he accidentally was mean to you.
