Search Results: guys being protective

I'm really confused about how I feel.
I'm 18, I've liked a handful of guys but only had real feelings for one in the past, but I think that was more infatuation than anything.

I met this guy right at the beginning of June and I've seen him everyday since then except once. We hang out with our mutual friends but sometimes its just us, we do all sorts of fun stuff and also just chill and watch movies. Lately, I spend most nights with him too.

At first I thought I just lusted after him cause he's very attractive and we messed around a little. But I miss him when I've only gone a few hours away from him. I have fun with him, just being around him makes me really happy.

I worry about him a lot and feel really protective over him. I like making him happy and taking care of him. At the same time I think he can be a brat and an ass, and I recognize all his faults (theres plenty..) but I can't stop loving him.

I've kissed 5-6 people, people I'm attracted to, but still he's the only person I enjoy kissing. His lips feel perfect. When I'm laying with him I feel safe and my anxiety goes away. I want to have sex with him and its not completely about sex itself. When he says I love you (all of us in our group say it to each other) or "I miss you" I feel giddy.

We fight often but get over it quickly. I wake up every morning with his arm around me and I feel like I could lay like that for hours.

I Just found myself crying because I know that when next semester starts up I won't see him very much. Going a day without seeing him sucks, going a whole week would be hell.

I don't want to like him. He told a friend he had feelings for me but he's on and off with a girlfriend. The whole situation is wrong, I know.

Even as early as childhood or during puberty. Overall, is it always a girl more naive than a guy from the start. And the guy just learns how to be a seductor on his own... out of nowhere or was he just as naive as her in the beginning?

I have a friend that thinks guys generally already know the art of seducting, the whole trying to get in a girl's pants and games (the top reason why most girls' parents are protective) without ever being taught and aren't as naive as the girls.

In the early stages of liking a girl, would you comment on finding other girls hot in front of her?

My crush came to my bday event and we spend a good amount of the evening together and it seemed as though he was trying to impress me with a lot of the things i was saying and trying to figure out my type.

But he would also make comments like "there are so many hot girls at this club" and "the girls at this club love me" My friends the next morning kept saying that he was really protective of me and sooo into me and wanted to be around me a lot. But those comments keep replaying in my head.
Even his best friend was like "i feel like there's something going on between yous two on the downlow but you're not telling anyone" ... i just laughed it off dying on the inside wishing it was true hahahaha

SIDE NOTE: he has only been with one girl and they got out of a long relationship this year and his friends give him a lot of shit about not being able to get girls so maybe he feels some type of pressure to be a player... I don't know though :'(
