We gentlemen often have no idea how to treat women. After all they are so completely different from us that we can't accept the learning process it takes to make a relationship work. We may not even take the time to learn what a relationship is. Some of us have made the effort but the differences still define what we will be now and later. Hopefully we improve.
Men can be awkward, clumsy, and hearing impaired In fairness Women can have those 3 amazing traits as well.
Regardless of age I'd like to think this particular guy doesn't quite get it yet.
Sometimes the ladies have met and had relationships with the right guy. When that relationship ended she may find herself dealing with just ordinary men who never seem normal.

It feels like to me he's putting feelers out there to find out how you feel about him. I'm not saying it's a good way to do it but that's what it seems like.

Guys? Could this be?

This is likely the case. He is probably looking for something serious and is afraid of rejection so he is trying to size up what is happening. He could be doing it purposely, or may not even be aware he is doing so.

That may be giving some of us too much credit!

To be serious: As far as this guy was described, I was much like him at one point.

My opinion is that he wants to move the relationship to a different level. He is trying to get a feel for whether he'll be successful or not.

self esteem. unfortunately. women are attracted to the appearance of high self esteem.
you could be a very on the ball guy and have low self esteem. self esteem is not very adjustable.
appearance is very adjustable. its about what somebody did to you not who you are.
like scars.

Correction. Gentlemen know how to treat women. It's guys who don't know how to treat women.

Boost his ego if you like him. Whether you are just friends or more than that, boost his ego a few times and sooner or later he will stop. Sounds harmless and sounds like he just needs some confirmation that you like him and are attracted to him.

If he uses reverse psychology then that is called manipulation or covert control over you. Do you really want to put up with that garbage?? I don't put up with that type of garbage because it irritates and confuses me.

I only massage a person's ego if the person is doing nice, impressive, or talented things.
