18- female. so i've been friends for this guy joe for about four years now. we were like best friends until his girlfriend came between us for three years. i see him like once a month now when i use to be with him all the time. i was talking to him last night and i poured my heart out to him. this is what i said:
today i was really mad and so i went out with matt. well he wanted to know what was wrong and i realized that i couldnt let myself tell him and it made me reazlie that you really the only guy that i could tell everything to before but now i pretty much feel like i can't tell you anything. its like were not even friends anymore and that scared the sh*t out of me because i cant trust any other guy. and now that i dont talk to you anymore, especially when i needed you the most, everything is messed up now and i seriously really do neeed you like how we use to be before. your the only one i can tell anything to or do anything with without it being awkward at all.
and this is what he said back:
well dont worry linds, i got you.
and i was like are you sure about that? and he was like of course.
i was just wondering, when he told me "i got you" what do you think he meant by that? im guessing there could be many meanings but i dont really understand? like he will always be there or what?
elw5039 answered Tuesday April 28 2009, 11:51 am: Him using the phrase "I got you" has soo much meaning behind it.
It means he understands and he is there for you. It means that he misses your friendship the way you do. It means the two of you are on the same page. It means he has your back.
Overall, its a good thing. Hang on to this guy. Its not easy to find guy friends like that. I had one once and I let him get away 4 yrs ago and I miss him terribly to this day. Dont let that happen to you. [ elw5039's advice column | Ask elw5039 A Question ]

letmetellyou answered Tuesday April 28 2009, 8:07 am: Guys arn't usually good with feelings. Which is probably why he just said I got you. It more than likely here means that he misses you too and not to worry because he'll always be there for you like before the whole girlfriend thing.
