Search Results: sharing feelings

I am driving 4 hours to go see a guy next state. Last week we facetimed and planned to meet up in person. He was going to come out here next month but I suggested I go out to see him so it's sooner. We have great convos. We always laugh, smile and talk about deep meaningful topics. After we hung up to facetime, we didn't communicate for 3 days. I didn't text him and he didn't text me. I thought he was done with me so I blocked him on instagram and deleted his number. As soon as I did that day, he texted me how I was doing and if we were still on for the weekend. I said sure. He then told me he had to make sure I didn't change my plans. That he didn't know me well enough or my tendencies, but he's excited im coming. I asked him if his tendencies were good and if he wasn't going to ditch me. He laughed and assured me that will definetely not happen. We've been texting everyday again and tomorrow I am driving to see him. He has it planned that he wants to hang out with me, eat when I get there and then travel the city the next day. He offered to pick me up from my hotel and he drive us, but I declined. We've been sharing music with eachother recently as well. He hasn't texted me today. I'm scared he's going to ditch me. Is he even interested? I feel blind to this, but something is telling me to go. Such mixed feelings. He always texts me back when he says he would, always says goodnight when he has to go to bed and says he will chat with me the next day. He asks if I've eaten for the day. (I haven't been eating properly.) I get nervous about these things because every guy I've been with has been one sided. I'm scared he will be too or he will stop talking to me all of a sudden. What do you guys think?

So I was watching a video of a woman who did several nationally representative surveys of men and women, and she was sharing her findings about average (notice the word "average") differences between men and women.

But I always like to get feedback from people before I accept these ideas. So, men, do you identify with what she says below? Does it seem accurate?

How about women? How many of you identify with what is written below?

Among other things, she said the following:

"The deepest heart-cry of a man is 'Am I able? Am I adequate? Am I any good at what I do on the outside? Do I measure up?' We as women want to be loved and cherished and adored… Most men would give up feeling loved if they could just feel that you respect, trust, appreciate, and admire him… And they are looking for a signal from everyone around them that they do measure up…

There’s a huge difference between how men look on the outside and feel on the inside… On the outside they may look confident [or even too confident but] on the inside…all day everyday - this is how one man described it - what is running through their veins & they’re never without it: “I want to tackle a challenge, I want to do great things, I want to be a great husband or boyfriend or father or businessman…but I’m not sure I know what I’m doing & I hope no one finds out.” Underneath the surface there’s enormous self-doubt and vulnerability."
