Most people are pretty perceptive.  He could've seen it in your eyes, heard it in your voice or just in your body language.  Women put out pheremones too...more are released when someone they're attracted to comes around.  It's your body's way of letting them know.

Some guys are afraid to open up and as they are afraid of being hurt, teased, ridiculed, etc. Trust me when I say that it can be anything from something as petty as shyness stopping them to something as serious as major mental problems. It all depends on the guy. No matter how close you are to a guy, it takes a wee bit o' time before he can really begin to trust enough to open up and then there are guys like me....who open up and are honest from the word 'go'. I recommend a book titled: Men are from Mars, Women are From Venus. It is both a good read as well as offers great insight into both the male and female aspects of a relationship.

Men don't like to talk about their feelings or insecurities, it's a sad fact in the male world.

Most guys try and hide thier feelings from someone they love because they don't want to feel/ make them selves look vulnerable. They are afraid of rejection just like some of us. Sometimes they are just playing hard to get and want to make you work for it. That and the whole "boys don't cry" thing that has been ingrained by society. Society had screwed up many men...

Because some guys are shy about things like that. Or some of them feel that the girl should tell the guy they like them.

Well, it's something that cannot be answered just like that.  A woman just knows that a guy is for her or not for her.  It's instinct.  Hard to describe.  I would want to know if you're seeing someone or married.  That would be my first question if I met you in public.  You are good looking, BTW

Because it takes a lot for a man to express his feelings to a woman.  Men don't open up easily like we do.  So when they find some one that they truly admire, they open up around that person and you get to see their true selves.  When they end up losing that special someone, they have to learn how to open up all over again and it takes them longer compared to a woman.

That's way too honest.  People can't deal with the truth.  They're too afraid of their natures.\n\nI say "I want you" or things to that effect a lot more than the others you've mentioned.  I've gotten over being afraid to tell a woman that I want to use her for my pleasure regardless of emotional connection.\n\nThey're human too... they're looking for the same thing we are.

From a woman's point of view, because we are feeling neglected. We like to be given a chance to show we do have opinions, we like spending more time with you, and we like feeling like an equal. Sometimes trying to let you know this comes out wrong and we get frustrated and argue.

Guys are built differently than women...when a guy sees that something is wrong their first reaction is to try to "fix" whatever is wrong, when in reality sometimes all we are looking for is understanding or some comforting words. Try not to see it as a fault, it really isnt, us women are just more "emotionally intuned" than most men are.....I asked my father this same question many years ago, and he told me simply that most times guys really don't know what to say...like when we cry and they are just silent...it's because they dont know how to "fix" it...\n\nSo to answer your question, yes i believe it is common, and very normal : )

Men respond to visual stimuli and are not as reliant on their feelings.\nSome women respond to visual stimuli also, but they are more talkative and communicate what they are feeling more openly.

Because women (generally)are not inclined to be interested in Mechanics, Computers, Science, DIY, etc..\nThey are in touch with feelings, and emotions, as are men, but men don't put it out there as much.\n\nPlus women are more inclined to question the status of a relationship, and worry more about it, so it seems.  Thus, their insights to these types of questions seem to prevail.\n\nThat's the Mars/Venus thing.

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.

Men are very visual people, way different from women. And unfortunately a lot of men don't take the time to find out what the inside of the women is all about.
