12960506, when a guy can't tell you why he's interested in you...
Posted by Trinity444, Thu Jan-21-16 11:29 AM
what does that mean?
12960509, He likes you, but he doesn't like you like you,

12960510, mind explaining a bit?
Posted by double negative, Thu Jan-21-16 11:30 AM
12960520, It means that you have to SHOW him what to be interested in
Posted by flipnile, Thu Jan-21-16 11:34 AM
Right now he's interested in pussy and/or companionship. Show him exactly what else he should be interested in (besides the pussy and companionship).
12960528, theres something about u, but he cant quite put it into words

12960533, It's mainly because he thinks you look good.
Posted by Teknontheou, Thu Jan-21-16 11:41 AM
But he knows he's not supposed to say that.
12960537, I don't think being able to articulate why you like someone doesn't have
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Thu Jan-21-16 11:43 AM
anything to do with like someone.

It can be like trying to explain why you like a song. Who knows you just do.

12960540, it could mean way too many things.
Posted by SoWhat, Thu Jan-21-16 11:44 AM
i've been on both sides of it. there's no definitive answer.
12960572, perhaps he is a gentleman
Posted by Selah, Thu Jan-21-16 12:05 PM
perhaps its lust and he doesn't want to say for fear of offending you

(as stated: could be anything)
12960573, he wants to hit and isn't a quick thinker.

maybe that's it, maybe not. Could be dude is not good at articulating his feelings. Could be any number of reasons.


How long have y'all been seeing each other?
12960662, I had a dude once tell me he likes me cause of my DNA ..

Posted by Boogie Stimuli, Thu Jan-21-16 01:41 PM
Like others have said, it could mean a lot of things, but one
very IMPORTANT thing it means is that he's not very self-aware.
It's important that YOU know why he's interested, and until he figures
it out or you can see through him, you'd be trusting someone else's
confusion to move into anything with him.

12961214, This ....

Is really the best case scenario.
12960682, Sliiiiightly OT....but women gotta realize y'all lay things out differently
Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Thu Jan-21-16 01:46 PM
I've had so many women ask similar questions, and the thing is...I just go off of a feel, or the cliche "connection, energy" more so than anything I can write a damn essay or Marvin Gaye type song about.

I've had a woman ask me, "name five things you like about me" and I literally responded, "is this a English paper? I just do, I don't have to verbalize it like that!"

It's actually easier for me to explain why I DON'T like a girl, versus why I do. Sometimes, it's really as simple as "I like your smile, and I can tolerate being around you for 8 hours without wanting to kick you out the house." It doesn't have to be "the tone of your voice when you are telling me about your life experiences," "the smell of your hair after it's been shampoo'd," "your level of intellect which is balanced by your willingness to learn more, mixed with your upbeat personality and unpredictable sense of humor" or any of that. If I'm into you, I just am.
12960717, these women need this shit tho..
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Jan-21-16 02:18 PM
not sure why but they need dudes to tell them what makes them special and half the time they use that shit against you at a later date.

"oh, but you said you loved my sense of humor. I joke your finances and now you got an attitude"

"I thought you wanted a strong woman?"
12960734, some do...
Posted by Trinity444, Thu Jan-21-16 02:32 PM
for some - it helps weed out the suckas lol

12960783, why you dating suckas?
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Jan-21-16 03:05 PM
12960746, Man that would be garbage. I don't think I've had it used against me
Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Thu Jan-21-16 02:38 PM
But at the same time, I rarely respond to that type question anyway.
12960750, if she needs it there's a reason..low self esteem, she's concerned
Posted by Regina Rose, Thu Jan-21-16 02:40 PM
about how much you like her..she wonders if you're really into her or just buying time

This is different from want/like it cause that's just an interest and probably doesn't have "deeper" meaning
12960729, so eloquently put...
Posted by Trinity444, Thu Jan-21-16 02:30 PM
thank you :-)
12960770, Dude and I were watching TV and the girl on TV asked that ?
Posted by MzOnyxVI, Thu Jan-21-16 02:56 PM
so, I turned to him and asked him what were three words he'd use to describe me

in the moment, he blew me all of the way off

told me I was being ridiculous

the next day or so, he sent me a text that said

"brilliant, beautiful, inspiring"

made my day

12960995, Ohhhh, that's hella cute LOL. It all depends, but it can catch us
Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Thu Jan-21-16 07:10 PM
way off guard at the time. And it just feels like we're making up shit.

I swear I've said shit to women, just to get a good reaction, and I had to ask myself, "wait....did I really mean that, or was that game?" Either way can scare us, especially if we actually do mean it.
12960683, honest question for ladies. Is this something you're asking dudes regularly?
Posted by Dstl1, Thu Jan-21-16 01:46 PM
Why are you interested in me? LOL. Damn, what ever happened to just feelin a person's vibe? This some new 2016 line of questioning? Sheesh. *flips down Dwayne Wayne flip-up shades and walks away listening to Musiq -Just Friends*
12960701, I generally don't ask but if a dude goes on and on about how he
Posted by Regina Rose, Thu Jan-21-16 02:09 PM
likes me.I'll semi-jokingly say "oh yea? Why?"
the responses are usually interesting
One dude said because I am a strong woman like his mother was..thing is..with this dude I was purposefully slick-mouthed and demanding with him..he loved it
12960712, lol

Fascinating. I want to ask some questions, but I don't want to pry too much.

12960724, yes...
Posted by Trinity444, Thu Jan-21-16 02:26 PM
does that make me crazy?

its not a question men should fear....if you're honest



12960727, nah, of course it doesn't make you crazy...
Posted by Dstl1, Thu Jan-21-16 02:28 PM
just something I've never heard before. What though, if there is no honest answer. Dude just feels something between you and him...and he thinks it's genuine?
12960736, c'mon though, you really don't have an honest answer???
Posted by Cenario, Thu Jan-21-16 02:34 PM
like she either looks fine or you really enjoy her company or some combo of both.

Now whether or not you wanna tell her the honest answer, is a different point.
12960757, right on...I see what you saying....
Posted by Dstl1, Thu Jan-21-16 02:48 PM
I guess it's just my inner neo-soul coming out...like...you and a person both know when shit feels right. That question might rub me the wrong way...like I'm being interviewed for a position.
12960761, lol i feel you in a sense. Especially if ya'll are already vibing, its likely
Posted by Cenario, Thu Jan-21-16 02:50 PM
you already told her what you like about her right? like you would have volunteered it.
12960733, is this something you ask any dude that shows interest or if you'd been
Posted by Cenario, Thu Jan-21-16 02:32 PM
with a guy for a couple of dates?

I guess to me i wonder if it comes from a lack of self confidence. Bc i've definitely been asked before. If it is a girl i really really like i take it as her being flirty and possibly wanting an ego stroke.

If its a girl i'm not that interested in really, i take it as her lacking self confidence and i got to work hard to find something nice to say that won't bite me later.

Perhaps in my experience, she was just picking up on my lack of non-interest vibe. But what does asking what i like about you solve??
12960748, any...
Posted by Trinity444, Thu Jan-21-16 02:39 PM

12960957, You know what you have to offer.
Posted by SoWhat, Thu Jan-21-16 06:18 PM
So you should have a clue why homie likes you.
12961360, its not a matter of self esteem...
Posted by Trinity444, Fri Jan-22-16 08:23 AM
for me - it's a " getting to know you" question.

how you think...
your intentions...



12961362, Ok.
Posted by SoWhat, Fri Jan-22-16 08:24 AM
I've always been annoyed by the question bc I feel like the person is fishing for a compliment possibly due to a lack of s/e. I haven't seen it as you do.
12961383, i definitely think its fishing for compliments
Posted by legsdiamond, Fri Jan-22-16 09:19 AM
can't see how you get to know someone by asking for a list of reasons why they like you.

12961394, stop being a bastard lol
Posted by Trinity444, Fri Jan-22-16 09:39 AM
ain't nobody asking for a list...

by way of example, if a lady says she finds you interesting
wouldn't you be curious why?

I'm more than the sum of my body....
12960771, yeah, you might be a little teeny weeny bit
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Jan-21-16 02:56 PM

12960751, what if hes a stutterer?
Posted by worms, Thu Jan-21-16 02:41 PM
and hes spent all these years working on it to the point that it is not noticeable in most situations. but when you ask him what it is that he likes about you, there is a storm of words in his head, and he can feel the shame-inducing mish mash of sound thats about to come out. so he takes a second to compose - no i still go with potential murderer.
12960758, I'd chance it....

i made my famous bean dip which has as an ingredient, jalapenos. i made the bean dip. i went to the bathroom after. then my sister said she was going to the store and so i said that i would ride along with her.

on the way to the store my dick began to burn. oh, did it burn.
12960851, He may have communication issues
Posted by BabyYoda, Thu Jan-21-16 04:08 PM
Some people struggle to articulate their thoughts about certain things. My question to the person asking the question is..

Depending on the answer given, if he was able to give an answer, would said answer be a deal breaker or deal maker?
