Why can't men show how they really feel?

I'm happy to hear that you've moved on with life, but maybe you have to ask yourself what do you want for yourself as well as in a man, but mainly focus on yourself now...after five years (well almost), just think of what's good for you and what you will/won't tolerate from anyone!

Always be up front and honest...you like him?? Tell him . Men do like to know that they are wanted. You have nothing to lose...even if he does not feel as you do, he will respect your honesty and he WILL be flattered. You may also find that he was having just as hard of time expressing his feelings to you.

Look every man knows, you want a man.  Really, men needs to hold it together, including a job, his family and his emotions.  I know you would not have be atracted to someone who had feelings, because you would be supporting him, emotionally. . . .. . .

Think it's because boys have problems expressing themselves,to get a boy to tell you how their feeling or what they're thinking is quite hard really.If they just came out and said it straight away that would be better but they never do,they always seem to beat around the bush or brush it off...lads need to be more open and frank about how they truly feel...think that would help loads...

well men just don't quite function like women.  It's hard for them to understand our emotional needs.  They're like little kids.  Full of energy, jumping from exciting activity to another sometimes they just forget that we exist.  Emotional stuff is just not really in their train of thought unless we sit them down and tell them exactly how we feel and tell them what we want and need.  After he knows exactly what we want then he has no excuse for ignoring our needs.  We fullfill their physical needs they should do so for our emotional ones.

Because guys don't spend TIME discussing their FEELINGS aloud.  Men don't demean their personal "relationships" by feeding an obsession to "discuss" them.\n\nUnless.  They are seeking to manipulate a woman they don't care about.  If they are this kind of Casanova, then, yes, they are articulate about how they "feel."\n\nSo the guy who speaks long and eloquently about how he feels is very likely to rip you off!

Don't Know, ask the guy himself. only him can really give the main reason for not showing his emotion. maybe his afraid you might break his heart or you might take him for a ride if he shows you how he really feels about you. he just scare, doesn't wanna get hurt

Guys are built differently than women...when a guy sees that something is wrong their first reaction is to try to "fix" whatever is wrong, when in reality sometimes all we are looking for is understanding or some comforting words. Try not to see it as a fault, it really isnt, us women are just more "emotionally intuned" than most men are.....I asked my father this same question many years ago, and he told me simply that most times guys really don't know what to say...like when we cry and they are just silent...it's because they dont know how to "fix" it...\n\nSo to answer your question, yes i believe it is common, and very normal : )

It's much more difficult for us to be open with our emotions.  As we grow up were told to be tough and "act like a man".  In the end we realize that in order for us to function in the world and for people to be able to rely upon us we need to be stronger and work through or past our emotions in order to get where we need to go in life.  So, when we come upon moments where people want us to "open up" and admit how we're feeling, we not only have difficulty letting our guard down, we also sometimes don't even know how we feel until we really think about it and try to reaquaint ourselves with what we've been bottling up.

Some of the men prefer lie to make the other feel better or the situation look better. However, women will cry when they know they are lain even the lie is with a good reason behide.\n\nHow do you think?

you dont need to show it. it will be automatically in ur attitude towards him. dont try to pretend anything. may be he will also start raciprocating to u. and if u dont get returns then too take it lightly and dont get depressed. cos then may be he is not the right man for you.\nso all the best

Sometimes guys don't like to show girls how they feel about them.

Men feel the emotions, but are trained not to express them.  Sure, we fly off the handle in road rage when some idiot in the right hand lane makes a left hand turn without signalling, but men usually do not express emotions other than anger very well.\nPart of this is training.  Part of this is cultural.  Part of this is because women (including our mothers) do not teach us differently.\nSome of this might go back to the training of warriors.  By not expressing emotions, the enemy has a much harder time figuring out what you are going to do.  Ever wonder why Xena or Wonder Woman sometimes acts like a man?

not all men are weak, they are just unsure how to say what they feel, men's emotions don't mature for many years beyond what their bodies do.

When a guy lies! That is the worst thing you can do. Or, the fact that most men lack communication skills! Just say what you feel! Is it so hard?
