I recently told a young man how I feel about him. When I told him he became very distant. Why is that.?

he probably doesn't feel the same and doesn't know how to break it to you or he just doesn't know how to act around you anymore.

You need to explain to your friend that it is your understanding he might be interested in you.  Although you're flattered, and you love him very much as a friend, you simply don't feel that way about him.  Tell him you wanted to say something because you greatly value his friendship, and didn't want to do anything to mislead him.  Once things blow over with this situation, you should then be able to pursue a relationship with his buddy.  Your friend might be upset for awhile, but if you truly care about him you don't want to eventually hurt him more deeply.

The key to that would be never to say things like that lol make then think u really don't care!! The bad thing is you are a guy and was being totally honest with how u feel and i would love to find a guy like that!! I wish more guy could tell how they feel and what they want!!

I read what you wrote twice.\nI still don't know what you are asking.\n\nAdditional:\nRemember that many men are not very good at talking about emotional things.\nIf you are committed to each other then you must discuss how you feel - you must try to see each other's point of view. It sounds to me that you have different priorities at the moment.\nWhat is it that you want? Can he provide this at the moment?

Guys tend to express lack of interest by avoiding time together, not being as intimate with you, and being unclear about any future plans.\n\nIf he is a decent guy, I think you should be able to get a direct response to the question "is there something wrong lately?  I feel like you are being a bit distant".  List the reasons you think so, and ask whether you are being ridiculous or not.\n\nI suggest doing that soon, rather than waiting and analizing everything he does.  You will drive yourself nuts, and likely cause the relationship to end on a bad note as your angry/fear/worry all get bottled up until they explode (usually not in a positive way).\n\nI hope it works out for you.  Talk to him.  If you can't do that, it's not a relationship anyway.

im sure most people would say that he really doesn't love you and move on or find someone new. but think about this: maybe he's just not very vocal about his feelings. there's a big possibility that he does love you he just prefers to express it in his own way. but if it really bothers you that much that he can't say it, it's probably best that you tell him how you feel.

he was upset at u , he probably could have thought that u were just passing your time with him, not because u were interestedin him , because u had nothing better to do...maybe u should try telling him that u didn't mean it........

I think all guys act like that sometimes.  Men might not be as in "in touch" with sharing their feelings.  I guess is this silent response a new thing? or old?   I think you should find a neutral spot and time to talk to him.  Maybe when you are in the car driving somewhere say  " Hey i somethings been bothering me...or hey I want to talk to you about something, can we talk about it now...and if not when would be a good time."  After you schedule your appointment, tell him what is going on, and how you feel Try not to talk his head off, give him the short story of it all, and see what he says. Only he really knows why he is acting that way. But you have been together for 3 years, so im guessing  he is invested in you and the relationship otherwise he wouldnt be there.

Well you have stated you have talked about your feelings.  I think the main thing would be to keep the channels of communication open...talk about how you feel, let things just flow from there.

Have you stopped to think that maybe he is unsure how you feel about him?\n\nHe may be hesitant to say he loves you because he fears that you may reject him, he would rather remain your closest friend than risk losing you by doing something he fears.\n\nId suggest you sound him out, drop some hints like letting him know that he is like a dad to the children, and that with him around you feel like a complete family?\n\nIf he seems OK with that then maybe you need to broach the subject of love?\nBeing a man myself I can assure you that if we are onto a good thing then we are always paranoid we will stuff it up!\n\nSounds like you may be on to a good thing yourself, good luck!

He may have a lot of issues or feelings unresolved that need dealing with on his end.  Some men find it hard to relate their emotional feelings to their partner especially when they feel overwhelmed.  If he doesn't want to communicate with you in a few days I would definately be thinking you need to have a long talk.

Sounds to me like he got a lil flaky on you and his attraction for you is wavering because of a: You not responding and b: maybe it'st just his thing. The tables have turned so if you really want to persue this relationship, go and do more then just call him up. Meet with him and discuss things.

You can't trully know about any serious intentions until you get to know him. I mean really get to know him. If he's popping serious questions now, he's kind of shallow,or he is totally going at it on a feeling.Feelings tend to change,or be heavily conditional. Which means those feeling are only there when the conditions are right. Proceed with caution.

talk to him when your good and ready to let him know how u feel about him, explain the feelings your having toward him, hopefully he will see.lol who knows he probably feel the same way about you, and is scared to say...good luck !

Okay, 1st of all feelings like that just dont go away so he probably still feels the same way he just stopped letting it show. and 2nd you need to tell him how you feel. Im sure he will be thrilled to hear it.

Very possible.  Or he thought you were dragging your feet.  It is understandable that as more time went by, and he began feeling more insecure, that he distanced himself from you.  It was probably a way for him to protect himself in case you backed out.  Now that he feels more assured you will proceed he feels free to express his love for you again. I hope that helps.

when he is ready he will tell you how he feels. some men do find it difficult to express their emotions. just give it some time. try writing to him about how you feel and he might feel more comfortable expressing his feelings through writing.
