why is that guys never open up to their girlfriends?

That's not true of all guys.  My last two boyfriends have been very open with their feelings, you just have to find the right ones. I think most men are just naturally closed off like that.

They probably dont want to admit it. Or because they are "ashamed" to admit about their girlfriend that is a stupid guy if a guy is like that.

He probably doesn't want to give his new girlfriend the wrong impression about you and his relationship. Yeah, I know, it doesn't make sence, but when we find a girl that we really like, it makes us do things that aren't typically things we'd do. Plus, he's probably out more and simple has let it slip his mind. Don't take it personally, just guys showing interest in one thing at a time.

Geez...look, we like girls to be upfront.  Don't act shy...please...cuz for me, it's a turn-off...just tell him.  Hell, whats the worse that could happen?  \n\nYOU NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU TRY!

Guys are shy when it comes to feelings and the like.  Also they don't like to open up unless they are almost positive the feeling is returned, they don't like to be hurt.  Sometimes you just have to coax it out of them.

LOL... Im not laughing at the question, but I'm laughing at the fact I asked myself that very same thing about a year ago. I met a guy online. He was a total bad ass which i loved cuz it drove me crazy (yum lol)but still i wanted communication from him at the same time.he would never show any emotion, never shown any anything really! till one day he snapped... I found out about his childhood,... ex's, what made him tick... EVERYTHING! I found out just why he was the way he was. I also found out that I was soo much the same way. People normally act that way cuz they have been hurt many times... in 95% of the worlds mind they believe that the softer u are and the more trusting that u are and the more u act like u really do give a shit about life, themselfs, there baby (girl) etc.. the more things happen to them that are bad. I have seen it 1st hand soooo many times... in fact my friends have done it! they find a great guy, and as soon as he opens up to them and talks and makes an effort to be REAL.... BAM! they screw him 9 ways from sunday! The man that I was telling u about in the first part of this little note is now engaged to me:) He finally opened up to me. And when he realized that he COULD trust me and COULD love me without me being a (well in his eyes a "typical woman") he fell so deeply inlove with me. and here we are:) and I love him so much. SO... Be trusting to him, give him space BUT at the same time let him know that u are there for him...one day he will open to u. AND... NEVER EVER judge ANYTHING that he tells you... I dont care if its gross, or nasty or what! dont judge him cuz if he feels that u will run off then he will never share his feeling with u. Dont burn him just gain his trust and love him. weather it befor a friend or more... just be there for him!

maybe he's just quiet b/c he doesn't know what to say to you. he could be really attracted to you, but afraid to say the wrong thing. some guys have trouble expressing themselves to girls--especially if they like the girl.\nhe could also be really shy all the time. take note of how he acts around his other friends (guys and girls). if he's quiet torwards them too, he probably just needs to work on his people skills

HORSE HOCKEY The boyfriend in question is guilty of cheating and the reason he will not talk about it, is because he is wondering what gave him away. Be a friend help your girl to move on and get a new boyfriend.

he still wants you deep inside he just doesnt have the courage to come out and say it. maybe hes afraid of losing  her to get with you and you rejecting him thats why he hasnt gone any further with it.

For some guys it is weak to show emotion because as a male they may feel the need to always present a tough exterior.  A guy has to be secure in himself to present his emotional side.  If he isn't, then those are the guys you are talking about in your question.

Most guys when they find out that their girlfriends want to talk about their relationship or feelings or whatever, they think that there's a problem or something. Guys are like that, they'd never examine or look into anything at all unless something is wrong with it. Not a lot of guys talk about their relationship with their girlfriend just because they should. It's usually only if there's a serious problem or something, otherwise they'll just think then what is there to talk about ? what is there to say about it ?

trust me this can not be a problem...i have guy friends who were scarred to have a girlfriend because they really never had one...when i advised them if they were ready i told them to go out in groups and when your guy friends talk to girls get in the mix and talk to them back...ask for a number....and trust me although you have never been with a girl it is ok...not all girls like it when a guy tries to make it seem like he know it all...as for me good guys are the ones worth being with...take your time and get out there and mingle and dont be scared to just talk...

I am concerned over the fact that he doesn't want her to say anything to anyone.  To me, that screams out that he has another girlfriend.  Sounds like he is cheating on another girl...there is no other reason to keep their relationship secret.

Guys just aren't as talkative as women. If you want them to tell you something you have to drag it out of them. By the way in my experience most men hate to be pushed into having a conversation they don't want to have. They simply prefer to be a little more secretive.

Lack of practice.\n\nWomen talk about their feelings with their friends all the time, so when you get in a relationship it's already natural. Guys almost never talk about their feelings with other guys, so when they get in a relationship, it's often the first time they've ever had to really try to do it.\n\nMany guys are willing to learn how to express their feelings. Be patient, and teach them how.

things aren't always as they seem.\nmaybe it's she who doesn't wanna hang out with his mates.\ni read somewhere that if your man don't take you to hang with his mates, he's not serious. so maybe it's because he's not serious about her and don't really want her making friends with you lot in case it don't last.\nor maybe he and his gf just wanna spend alot of 'quality time alone' :P

Plain and simple, guys don't open up really at all, it takes a lot to force it out of us.  Usually something huge that pushes them over the edge will make them break and open it all up.  But to go and expect that out of a guy after 3 or 4 weeks is asking a whole helluva lot.  But you're a woman, and you need that communication link in a relationship, which is why relationships are so hard.  But then you have to add the broken heart into the mix and it really could go either way.  Him talking about wanting to do things with you in the future could be a lot of things.  Everyone has a perception of what they are saying, and the person who's listening takes it in a different way.  Happens all the time.  I wouldn't take it to heart, sounds like he's running, especially if he made that call without really knowing you at all.  Sorry you're all broken up about it, but best of luck
