Why He Is Scared To Expressing His Feeling To You?
A lot of factors may be responsible for a guy not being able to profess his feelings to the lady that he loves.
Here are some of them;
1. You May Appear Too Firm
Sometimes, a guy may get intimated by the social or physical appearance of a lady.
So if you always appear too serious around him, he might be scared to proffer his feelings to you because he is unsure of your reaction.
2. He Is Uncertain About Your Response
One of the greatest fears in life is the fear of rejection.
Any guy who loves a woman but is scared to tell her might just be scared of rejection from her.
3. He Just Came Out Of A Heartbreak
If he just came out of a relationship in which he suffered heartbreak then he may have an issue with entangling himself into another commitment.
4. He Is Not Good With Dealing With His Emotion
Trust me, some guys are not good at dealing with their emotions.
And he might be afraid of feeling vulnerable and this is one of the issues a lot of guys experience.
So, he’d rather suppress his emotions in order not to appear weak or fragile in front of you.
5. He Is Shy And Timid
I feel like this is one of the common reasons why guys find it difficult to open up to a lady.
He might just be struggling with timidity so he is shy to open up to you.
Conclusion
If you know that a guy loves you but you suspect that he is scared to speak up, you shouldn’t act like you know already; rather make him feel comfortable around you.
With this, he might be relaxed and make his feelings known to you someday.
