We have been hanging out for a year now. I would have never considered us more than friends if he would not brought it up. However, now his behavior is completely contradictory! I don’t get it? He says oh by the way, I just want to be friends and then he says sorry I didn't really mean all that, lets just pretend all this didn't happen Communication is a two way street, I get that, I can talk but I need straight forward answers to my questions. I'm just not convinced everything is as it should be

There are so many ways you can propose and make it very romantic and sincere. Getting down on one knee is great! It shows respect which should be mutual.

I would not trust you after all that drama

I'm trying to figure out my relationship with a quiet guy right now. The only problem is that I have no idea what they want because talking to them about feelings, relationships and plans is often like pulling teeth. Overall, I like the quiet guy more because when they finally open up they produce great thoughts and conversation.

I also feel that I get along better with quiet men because I am outgoing and very intuitive. What I’m learning is that a lot of quiet guys don't fit the "soft" stereotype that is put on them.

Thanks everyone. It seems now he is making more of an effort calling and making plans. I will wait and see what happens. It's just hard to share with someone and not know how they feel.

I'm in the same situation with a man only 2 years older but you would think i'm 20 years older

I am friends with a young man who has been sheltered for most of his life; he has little if any relationship experience. He totally confuses me at times because he says he wants to be "just friends" but he acts like he wants more. Having the "talk" with him is not an option because it didn’t work in the past and he is so awkward that he makes me nervous. Overall he is a wonderful guy but I need to know if anyone has experienced anything like this before? My experience tells me that he would not spend time with me “talking and sharing” if he wasn’t interested
We are spending time together and other people (his family and mine) have started to gossip and assume. He is Nigerian and I am not. It is clear that there are some cultural differences. I want to pursue this relationship but I also don’t want to get hurt. Please help! I would love advice from men on what to do.
