25 signs that he’s scared of his feelings for you (without realizing it)
Have you ever wondered why he was so distant? You immediately tell yourself it’s because she doesn’t like you that much. But believe me, the reason may be quite different.
Men are not like us. Most of them are not used to expressing their feelings, and they are in fact afraid of these new emotions which they are trying to keep in them. Men are the type to say: « I’m a macho, love has no hold on me! » « And then BOOM, they suddenly find themselves completely and deeply in love.
So remember, he doesn’t distance himself – he just discovers new feelings that he might not know how to deal with. That being said, pay attention to what I’m about to tell you.
Here are some clear signs that he is falling for you but is afraid to listen to his heart and let it get the best of you.
1. He’s staring at you.
You know that feeling of being watched? That feeling that he’s watching you? You know he’s staring at you and thinks he’s been lucky to meet you. Yes, you know… And it’s extremely enjoyable!
You don’t want to raise your head for fear of ruining this moment. If he realizes that you like him too and that you know he’s looking at you, he will stop right away since he’s afraid to admit that he likes you.
2. He has been harmed in the past.
He sometimes mentions that he has been harmed in the past and that he will do whatever he can to prevent it from happening again. This is the reason why he is reluctant to surrender to your relationship. He fears that you will break his heart, like her ex did.
And this is quite normal. Put yourself in his shoes. If a man had broken your heart, would you trust someone again that quickly or would you rather play it safe until you were sure it didn’t happen again?
3. One day yes, one day no …
This is a clear sign that he cares about you but is afraid. One moment he’s all in love, all kind and considerate, then the next he’s cold and distant. It’s like a constant inner struggle. Will it open up to you or not?
He’s sending you mixed signals and you don’t know how to react. Are you going to walk away, thinking he’s leading you off or stay long enough for him to finally come out and say – YOU PLEASE! Up to you !
4. He spends time with you.
If he invites you to go out, to the cinema or elsewhere, it is because he likes you. If he didn’t want to be with you, or if you only interested her for sex, he wouldn’t invite you out and wouldn’t want to spend that much time with you. He loves being with you, but he’s not ready to admit it just yet.
5. He doesn’t seem determined to take the first step.
You are convinced to please him. All the signs converge and yet he doesn’t seem to want to take the first step. But you can guess it from the way he looks at you and talks to you… Because let’s be honest, when a boy falls for us, we know it and we feel it.
Like I said before, if he doesn’t take the first step even though he wants to, it’s clearly because he’s too scared. Someone has broken his heart or maybe you are intimidating him or he thinks you are too good for him. As soon as you figure out which option it is, let him know he can take a step towards you and that you want him to.
6. He is nervous when he is with you.
Has he ever said or done weird things? Something is making him nervous, but you don’t know what it is. Well my dear, that’s a sign that he’s scared of his feelings for you. He is afraid to say or do something that will ruin everything.
He wants to be perfect. It’s like when we have to do something very important and close to our hearts, we get nervous and our hands are sweaty, because we are afraid of the result. It is the same with him, except that here you are the result.
7. His friends know about it, but you don’t…
This is the sign that most clearly indicates that he is afraid of his feelings for you. If you know you’re the hottest topic of conversation among his bunch of pals, you’ve just unmasked him! If he talks to his friends about you, it’s because he really likes you since boys don’t talk to each other about girls they aren’t planning on dating. If one of his friends tells you about it, it’s in his pocket.
8. He blushes when you are there.
I know you tell yourself that only women blush. It’s wrong ! Men also tend to blush in front of a girl they like. If you catch him blushing when he tells you a life story, it’s a sign that he likes you but is afraid to admit it.
It means that he really cares about you and your opinion and also wants to leave a good impression on you. So you have to try to put him at ease and ask him questions. Your first date will be just a few steps away!
9. He’s sweating.
We all tend to sweat in the face of novelty. Imagine how stressed and sweating he will be on your first date! He will try to be at his best, but will still have a hard time hiding the symptoms of his stress.
Don’t be too hard on him. Try to appease him by laughing at his jokes and asking him questions about him. It just means that he cares about you but has afraid to admit it. Please respect that. After all, it might be your soul mate.
10. He gives you compliments.
We all know what that means. If a man compliments you, it’s a sign that he likes you. He compliments you in the hopes of gauging your reaction. And admit it, a boy telling you how gorgeous you are in your dress, that’s pretty nice… I could listen to that all day. Not you ?
11. He holds the door for you.
It’s a sign that he loves you, but also that he’s a real gentleman. Let’s be honest ladies – there aren’t many these days. Most boys are assholes who just want to have sex. If your man holds the door for you on your first date and all that follow, realize how lucky you are: he’s a guardian angel.
12. He laughs at your jokes.
You don’t even have to be very funny, he’ll laugh anyway. This is a telltale sign that he likes you but is afraid to admit it. He’s just trying to lighten up the mood and laughing at your jokes is the first step.
If you feel that he is responding positively to you, you can relax and enjoy the rest of the evening. Some people are just born to make our days better, right?
13. He listens to you talk about your problems.
A man who listens to you talk about the problems you face in life is bound to be a good match. This is a sign that he cares about you, but is afraid to admit it for fear that you will panic.
He shows you that whatever happens, he will be there for you and protect you from the outside world. Being with someone like this is a blessing, so be sure to support them as well.
14. He has trouble holding your gaze.
Body language speaks volumes, especially in a romantic relationship, when you don’t know if you like a man or not. If you notice that he is staring at you and then looking away, this is a clear sign that he loves you but is afraid to tell you.
He may never even find the courage to say these words to you as they are. It may be easier for them to write to you and say they care about you. It is a sign of true love, but also of his nervousness when he is in your company. I’m sure you have your methods to allow him to relax …
15. He doesn’t invite you out.
You are probably wondering how this could be a sign of his feelings for you? Well ladies, you have to understand that sometimes the most interesting men are the shy ones. Maybe he’s been trying to invite you for days, never finding the right time. Do not cross it off the map just yet. Give it a chance. Perhaps he is the cutest man you have ever met. And maybe it will make you the happiest woman on earth.
16. He is protective.
If you have a problem, he will do anything to resolve it. It is his way of showing his love for you. This is one of the most obvious signs that he loves you. He just needs a little time to see things clearly. And believe me, it will take a little more for him to admit that he loves you. Men are like that and we have to accept it. But after all, that’s why we love them!
17. He sends you messages.
A boy who cares about you will want to know how your day went. Maybe he’ll write to say hello or even invite you over for lunch on your break. The point is, he’ll want to spend as much time with you as possible. This is a sign that he likes you but is afraid to admit it. He wants to know you better before revealing himself and telling you the 3 magic words: “I love you! «
18. He is jealous when another man approaches you.
Even if you are not officially in a relationship, he will be jealous as soon as another man approaches you. He sees a potential rival and is not entirely comfortable with the idea. He tries to protect you from all those predatory stares and he wants you to be his. This is a sign that he cares about you but is too shy to admit it. He would rather chase away all approaching men, rather than admit his feelings. What more can I say… Men are complicated.
19. He refuses to put a label on your relationship, but his gaze says a lot about his feelings for you.
When you’re around he always has these fried whiting eyes and he is unable to stop looking at you. He finds you perfect and he wants you to be a part of his life. He loves everything about you, from your smile to your eyes, to your voice. In fact, this man is crazy about you but he’s too scared to admit it, even to himself.
20. He never talks about other women.
It’s as if he had found what he had always been looking for and therefore no longer needed to talk about other women. In fact, you are the only one that interests him and it is stronger than him. His friends tease him but he doesn’t care. He only wants one woman in his life and that woman is you.
21. He gives you his full support.
Whether you are having a small problem or going through a difficult time in your life, he is there to comfort you.
