I’ve been seeing a guy again recently after we first went on a 5 dates which stopped just a few months ago (I was recently single so put the breaks on it). Things have picked up again and he’s been quite consistent with effort - he initiates contact, suggests plans, follows through, and has been quite affectionate (we’ve had sleepovers, breakfast plans, and he’s brought me small thoughtful things like honey from his work). He also checks in about my day and seems engaged in conversation, but he’s quite laid-back in how he communicates and doesn’t explicitly say much about his feelings. I’m trying to understand something more general from men’s perspectives: When you really like a woman and there’s emotional depth there, do you tend to show it clearly through words and emotional expression as well as actions? Or can it sometimes just look like consistent effort and spending time together without much verbal or emotional depth? Basically, I’m trying to understand whether some men are more understated emotionally even when they’re interested, versus when it’s more casual “enjoying someone’s company” energy. Curious how it works for you. submitted by /u/Shameful_success
