Lola2609 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 If A guy repeats all the time "I care for you a lot" and also says "I have romantic feelings for you", is it the same as "I am in love with you"or it is more like " I like you a little more then a friend"?
Redhead14 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Unless and until a man says "I Love You", he isn't in love with you. Saying those things usually means it's going that way, but he isn't quite there yet or sure. Do not try to coax it out of him, do not tell him you love him. Let it unfold naturally. If he is does begin to fall in love with you, you will likely sense that he will pull away for a short time while he processes that very intense emotion. This will be a key time in the development of the relationship. You should allow him the space he needs. Your response should be balanced accordingly. He will close up whatever space he needs when he is ready. Sometimes, though, the man will become "scared" to the point where he doesn't close up that space. You should be prepared for it if it happens and accept it with dignity and respect. All the best to you, if that's what you want

When a man says "I care for you a lot" and also says "I have romantic feelings for you", it means "I care for you a lot" and "I have romantic feelings for you". 1

Ok, I get it but are romantic feelings the same as being in love or just feelings ( meaning I like you and feel something for you but not as strong as being in love). What are romantic feelings anyway?
PegNosePete Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 I suggest you ask the gentleman in question, as each person's individual interpretation may vary. 2
Author Lola2609 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Posted October 7, 2014 I wish I could but telling me about his "romantic feelings" was a huge deal for him. I don't think he would be comfortable discussing it.
PegNosePete Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Then you have a communication problem that is bigger than just this one question you have asked here!
Author Lola2609 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) I understand that but the reason I am asking this question is I am not familiar with American culture. For the last 10 years I lived in Europe ( where English is a second language) and the phrase itself is confusing. I've used something like "I care about you" before but not something like I have feelings or romantic feelings. I am sorry this is just all new to me. So what are romantic feelings for you?

Redhead14 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Romantic feelings are the precursors to falling in love. It is the beginning of a process that needs to unfold naturally. These are good signs but you should not push them or dwell on them. Follow the pace, reciprocate them in a balanced way. The fact that he is uncomfortable with them also says that he may be close to actually being in love. No way to know for sure, but handle it as if it were so. As I said above, ff this is the case, there may be some slight pulling away. Let him have the space. He will close it back up when he has processed the emotions. Edited October 7, 2014 by Redhead14

Thanks I think i understand it now better.
mightycpa Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Yeah, he doesn't love you... not yet. He may never, but he definitely likes being with you.
