"why do you like me"


Question Posted Thursday December 15 2005, 9:43 pm

Problem with answering "Why do you like me?";

I'm terrible with words. I must be terrible... I don't know how to put it into words that well.

I don't want to say something like

I like you because you're interesting... dot dot dot.

Then she'll be like only because of that? etc.

I really love my girlfriend but she keeps assuming that I'll go for another. She's like no other girl I've known, I highly doubt I would go for another.

Have any ideas that could help me think on how to word my response on that?

I think it wouldn't be a good idea to ask someone to type out.

And I know. If I was a good boyfriend I'd know how to answer this. I want my response to be perfect. Apparently I am not a good boyfriend or close to being perfect.

Dear Unsure Boyfriend,


Do not worry! I think all girls are worried that their boyfriend will go for another girl. Even I worry about that. I've been with my boyfriend for almost nine months, and I still have fleeting thoughts about how maybe I'm not good enough, smart enough, pretty enough, thin enough, fun enough, outgoing enough etc., etc., etc.


Try to make your girl feel loved and confident around you. My boyfriend does this by telling me how he feels. I really appreciate this - I'm quite sure your girlfriend would too. If you love her, tell her! If you think she looked nice, let her know. If you appreciated something she did or said, thank her. Tell her exactly what you told us -- "I really love my girlfriend..." "...She's like no other girl I've known..." Those simple words alone would be enough to make her feel quite confident in you. Don't even leave room for another girl to come in, let her know how genuinely special and unique she is to you, how lovely, sweet, and wonderful, how much you love her.


Now she still might be afraid that another girl will come in and take you away from her; that's really what we're all afraid of. As girls, we have these terrible fears (or so they seem to be terrible) that we are not pretty enough, or thin enough, or smart enough, or funny enough, or interesting enough, or tall enough, or short enough, or rich enough, or shy enough, or outgoing enough, or forward enough, or withdrawn enough, or comforting enough... etc. The list goes on and on. We want to be perfect for the men we honestly love. We try really hard too. She's simply afraid that she's not pretty enough, thin enough, smart enough, strong enough, feminine enough [etc., etc., etc.] for you, and another girl who is much prettier, thinner, smarter, stronger, more feminine, bouncy -- whatever it is -- will come in and snatch the best thing that ever happened away from her. [That would be you.]


Comfort her. Tell her how much she means to you and that you love her greatly and love everything about her.


I wrote a list of 100 things that I love about my boyfriend. Oh, it was so simple! There are so many things I love about him that the hardest part was choosing which ones to put on the list! You could try doing that, anything of that sort will make her heart sing and become renewed and have greater faith in your love for her. I'm sure she knows you love her, but try to calm her fears.


Girls are just like that. We don't know how to control it really. Hopefully I've helped you enough to know what to say to her.
Best wishes,
-FunnyCide

Oh yes you are! If you love your girlfriend that much and if you care about the answer that much etc. is enough for us(girls). I would be happy if every boyfriend i will have would be like that!
Ok, there is no need to fear. I will not tell you what to say because only you know the perfect answer but i will help you find the answeR.
Firstly remember what makes you feel good when you meet her. Is that you like chatting with her? Tell this.
Secondly, remember why you asked her out. Because she is pretty tell this!
#3 think the reasons you feel you like her. She makes you feel important? She makes you laugh? She helps you with every problem you have? What? Tell her...
#4Remember the bad times you both had and the reasons you get over this, That will help.
Now,be sure that you will find the words when she will ask you! These things are spontaneous you know...
I hope i helped! Good luck!

Just because you don't know how to answer this question doesn't mean that you are a bad boyfriend. One time my boyfriend asked why I liked him, I wasn't sure, but I simply said "I like you because you're you." He seemed to like it and I knew that I was telling the truth. By saying this I meant that he never needed to pretend he was anyone else in the world, and that being himself was all I ever wanted and recieved from him. There are certain questions that you cannot fully express to other people, the only one that truly knows it is yourself. If she asks why you like her again, just say the first thing that comes to your mind. If it is the truth and from the heart, then it WILL come out perfect. I hope I helped.

Man, I'm in the same boat as you, fortunately, I've discovered the secret to answering all the questions.
First off, clear and to the point, there's no 'perfect' or 'best' or most of the time even a 'right' answer(I'm sure if any women answer this, they'll contradict me, but just trust me). For some reason, about every girl you will ever be with will just have the most intense love for difficult, rhetorical questions. I've actually been asked "Would you still be with me if I had no arms."
The solution: Hope that your gf is smart enough to know her questions are trick questions, and know that you're a guy and you're gonna say something stupid occasionally(or not-so-occasionally). Also, for your answer, just be the sweet guy who can answer a question like that. Bring to mind every tiny thing you like about her. Her preferance for bright colors, the sparkles in her hair, the dorky things she does; the more specific and the more personal, the better. After you've spend sufficient time(no telling how long that is) telling her every little thing you love about her, she might be satisfied, she might be very happy, she might say "That's it?"
Sorry man, this is really a war that us men can't win. The ladies have us pinned in the corner with no way out.
Good luck.
