15 signs that a man is hiding his feelings for you

Representatives of the strong half of humanity almost always hide their true experiences, emotions and feelings . But why does this happen and what prevents men from demonstrating their true attitude towards certain events, people and objects?

It just so happens that most men try to carefully disguise and hide their own feelings. From childhood, parents put into the little boy’s head the idea that men are strong, men should never cry, men should always have high self-control and calmness. Because of this, an adult youth, a young man and a mature man hides not only negative, but also positive emotions. For example, when they need to demonstrate love for the woman they like, they give up and do not say those tender words that should be said.

Many of us women don't understand why we behave this way. A man’s reluctance to show emotions is caused by several reasons.

The main reasons why men hide their feelings and emotions

The main reason that a man hides his own feelings and emotions is the reluctance to demonstrate his own weakness. Yes, yes, representatives of the male half of society consider the manifestation of feelings a symbol of weakness, which is inherent only in women. Men hide all their experiences inside themselves, and outwardly mask their experiences with excessive harshness, rudeness and impudence. This behavior jeopardizes relationships with the women they truly love.

There are several more reasons why men hide their feelings and experiences:

1. Reluctance to lose personal freedom. Of course, subconsciously men want to be close to their beloved, but the fear of becoming a puppet in her hands makes them tough and cynical.

2. Realizing that he is not indifferent to the woman next to him, a man can deliberately show coldness and move away from his beloved in order to maintain interest in himself. He may even completely stop maintaining a relationship with a woman he finds attractive. With this behavior, he only fuels the desire in his beloved to constantly think about him, all the time to return to attempts to restore lost communication with him. Many men believe that by showing frankness in feelings and emotions, they make themselves very vulnerable, and this quality, as representatives of the stronger sex, does not suit them at all.

Interesting! Men actually experience a huge range of different emotions and feelings, but most of them they don't show.

3. The public does not accept weakness from male representatives. Since childhood, little boys are constantly taught that they should be men, strong and independent, and should not cry or complain about life. a real man is self-confident, strong, persistent, has a high degree of rationality, and independence. It is society that imposes certain stereotypes of behavior on a man, demanding that he forget about sentimentality, sensitivity and gentleness of character. All these qualities are inherent in the female half of humanity, and men should not have them.

Important! Many young guys and mature men attribute their own falling in love to a manifestation of weakness, so they try in every possible way to hide and disguise it.

4. Women often complain that their admirer does not openly show feelings of love towards them. It is not clear whether the young man is really in love, or whether the current relationship for him is a meaningless flirtation. Shyness plays a cruel joke on males, destroying the image of a strong, courageous and decisive conqueror in women’s eyes. Often young people hide their love not only from the girl they like, but also from relatives, friends and close people. They simply do not want to look like a weakling in the eyes of their relatives, not wanting to be considered henpecked. At the same time, men do not take any steps towards their beloved, do not call her, do not write love messages. Women get nervous because of this, constantly check their personal email and SMS on their phones, and make stupid guesses. It is extremely difficult for them to understand what logic the representatives of the stronger sex are guided by, why they put on a mask of indifference, why they don’t even try to tell them about their love?

Couple in love in nature

Perhaps they just don't know how to love? No, this is something else. Despite the fact that the young man almost never describes to friends and family his preparations for a romantic evening with his beloved, he looks outwardly very serious and callous, a storm of passions boils in his soul, and his ardent heart is bursting with love. And he hides all this behind feigned indifference and principle

“The less we love a woman, the more she likes us...”

5. On a subconscious level, a man is afraid of getting closer to the woman he loves, because he thinks that he will become dependent on her in all plans. Naturally, no representative of the stronger sex will directly say such information. His cherished dream may be to spend every free minute of his time with his beloved, but during the next call the man will say that the meeting will not take place because he is very busy. Most likely, such behavior will indicate that the man simply does not want to rush things, and there is a fear inside him that his beloved will begin to manipulate him. Yes, yes, men often keep their distance in relationships with representatives of the fair sex due to the fact that they do not want to become a puppet in their hands. Moreover, this fear also extends to sexual relationships.

6. Men understand no worse than women that the less information is known about their personality, the more interesting it will be to communicate with them. And therefore, the strong half of the world of humanity often puts on themselves a certain aura of mystery in order to stir up interest in their personality.

Interesting! Most men behave deliberately coldly with their other half, because they believe that it is not words, but actions that make a person beautiful.

7. Women should not be offended by their chosen one if he shows coldness in the relationship. He cannot constantly tell you about his love; it is much easier for him to demonstrate his feelings in actions and actions. It is in them that the true attitude of a representative of the stronger sex towards you is noticeable. This behavior is completely justified, because a man does not want to seem vulnerable and weak; it is more important for him to demonstrate to you that he can be a support. Real men prove their care and love through actions, not empty words. Take a closer look at your spouse's behavior. If he immediately rushes to your home with medicines immediately after learning about your illness; if he remembers the most important dates for you and constantly gives gifts on them; if he cares about your health and makes sure that on a cold autumn (winter) day you put on a warm hat and scarf, you can rest assured that this man really loves you. It is caring and taking an active part in solving a woman’s problems that is the main confirmation of the sincerity of feelings (and indeed, their presence) on the part of the stronger sex.

8. Men, by their nature, are as emotional as the fairer sex (and in some individual cases, the level of male emotionality even exceeds that of women). The male sex is also afraid of being rejected, of hearing a refusal from his beloved. All this causes them great pain, a lot of anxiety and worry. In addition, representatives of the stronger half of humanity need much more time to establish an emotional connection with their beloved. and if there is a break in a relationship, then men sometimes experience it much more acutely and for longer. But even when hiding his own feelings, a man does not forget that along with such a personality quality as courage, he is also characterized by kindness, a desire to take care of loved ones,

9. It is often difficult for a man to open up even to the person closest to him. Unlike women, who are accustomed to vigorously expressing their own emotions and feelings, the male half of society, on the contrary, behaves with restraint and dryness. This greatly offends their other half, the girl begins to consider her lover an insensitive blockhead, and often this situation ends in a complete break in the relationship. Ladies simply do not realize that a guy needs much more time to decide to have a frank conversation. In order to confess his love, a young man must be completely confident in his chosen one. And on the way to building trust, a woman must definitely help her beloved, sharing with him all her sorrows and joys. Gradually he will learn to do the same. It is worth remembering that if a man really considers himself to be a member of the stronger sex (without being a gigolo and a mama’s boy), then he will always strive to demonstrate his own power, strength and masculinity.

A man's hidden feelings - there are many of them, and that's a fact.

What should a woman do if a man hides his feelings?

If a woman suspects (or clearly notices) that her boyfriend is hiding his own feelings, then, first of all, she should forget about constant questioning. They will only bore her loved one.

Remember that if your young man really loves you, he will definitely tell you about it, after a while, of course, but he will. The strange behavior of a young man in love with you should be treated patiently and with understanding. And then, it’s better to pay attention to the fact that a man takes an active part in solving your problems and troubles, takes care of you, and constantly shows signs of attention. This will be clear evidence that he has love feelings and their sincerity.

Interesting! Most men are proud of their belonging to the stronger sex, so they try in every possible way to live up to their status, and it is for this purpose that they hide their true feelings towards the woman they love.

Don't be surprised if your lover is cold towards you. His actions will tell you more than words.

Love and infatuation: is there a difference?

Falling in love is certainly different from love, although many people confuse these concepts.

There are three main differences between how men fall in love and how they love:

1. A man's love flares up suddenly . A guy, seeing a girl for the first time, can instantly become inflamed with passion for her. But after a while, getting to know her better, he realizes that she is not his person and the love passes. Love can live forever. It develops slowly, slowly, becoming stronger over the years. Real feeling is not afraid of everyday or financial problems, and falling in love most often passes due to these reasons.
2. For a guy in love, physical intimacy comes first. And a loving person, if circumstances force him, can do without sex, still feeling respect, trust and love for his partner.
3. Lovers do not notice the shortcomings of the chosen one. And a loving partner knows about them, but accepts them with understanding.

Therefore, according to psychology, signs of falling in love in young men appear quite quickly. And it takes a lot of time to recognize the symptoms of true love.

Features of the behavior of men who hide their feelings

It is not difficult to understand that a man is hiding his own feelings and emotions, because it will be clear from his behavior. He just doesn't show his own feelings.

Important! The more experienced and older a man is, the more skillful his emotional deception will be in relation to the woman he loves.

Many representatives of the stronger sex are amazingly able to control themselves, even if their heart is torn to shreds from love. They will not openly flirt with the lady they like or give obvious verbal hints (as the weaker sex does). Of course, a man will remain a man until the very end, but at the same time his behavior will change the way it changes in a person who wants to hide something, trying to not be himself.

• One of the most striking examples of the typical behavior of a man in love is one that belongs to childhood. Remember how a boy in kindergarten or at school constantly pulls the pigtail of the girl he likes, inventing offensive nicknames for her. The girl is offended by this behavior, but it is precisely this that indicates that the boy likes this particular young lady. Adult men have a similar attitude towards the one they like. True, they won’t pull her hair, but they will definitely show rudeness and aggressiveness towards her. A man can call his beloved a bad word, doubt her professional qualities, make a barb or joke about her appearance, even push the lady of his heart. This behavior can be quite painful psychologically and physically for a vulnerable representative of the fairer sex. This happens due to the fact that a man is simply not able to control the emotions bubbling inside him.
• Another option for a man to hide his true feelings and emotions is feigned indifference towards the female person he likes. If a man begins to feel attracted to a representative of the opposite sex, he may begin to avoid her. But he will keep his distance only outwardly. Finding himself, for example, at a corporate event with the object of passion, a representative of the stronger sex will constantly keep his beloved in his field of vision. For example, even when talking with another person, he will still look at his beloved.
• Concealing one’s feelings for a woman is often evidenced by some confusion in the behavior of a representative of the stronger sex. Being close to his beloved, a man loses the ability to think logically. Often in such a situation they behave stupidly, say all sorts of nonsense, and a blush often appears on their cheeks. A man in love, in the presence of his lady love, can nervously twirl in his hands the first object he comes across. Finally, the height of their confusion is an extremely embarrassed look, which he tries in every possible way to avert, but this only works for a short time. Sooner or later, the eyes still look towards the object of desire.
• Wanting to hide his feelings and emotions, a man in love can go quite far. Manifestation of aggression or indifference, confusion and manifestation of one’s excessive busyness and enthusiasm. Desperately wanting to hide his own emotions, a representative of the stronger sex may even pretend that he does not remember at all what he talked about with his beloved the day before. Although in fact, a guy in love always knows exactly what was discussed several months ago.

How to understand that a married man has fallen in love by external signs

Marital status does not limit his desires and aspirations. There are men who can give love to several women at once. Signs of a married man's love are colored by secrecy and isolation.

• Tries to catch the eye, often looks, searches in the crowd.
• The body is turned towards the woman.
• Smiles during the dialogue/when he saw.
• Writes messages.
• Becomes thoughtful/cheerful.
• At every opportunity he tries to “accidentally” touch.
• “Peacock” behavior – straightens his shoulders, maintains his posture, looks good.
• Strives to catch the smell of perfume.
• He tells how bad everything is with his wife.

Mostly married people do not plan to divorce. Falling in love with a married person is more often like flirting with no chance of a serious outcome. There are exceptions.

How men manage to hide their feelings

In order to hide his feelings for a woman, a representative of the stronger half of humanity uses various methods. Here are the most popular ones:

1. Creating a mask of a rude and courageous person. Outwardly, it looks as if the man has turned into a prickly cactus that does not want to let anyone near him. But under this severity and feigned aggressiveness hides a loving and very vulnerable nature that needs to be helped to open up. This revelation of a man in love will not happen right away, so you should be patient. A woman needs to look after a man who is in love with her more often, pay him more attention, and he will stop being so aggressive and prickly.
2. Boasting. Wanting to hide his true feelings for his beloved, the man begins to tell stories about how he has no end to his fans. When you hear this, don’t rush to get upset. Most likely, what you are looking at is a typical representative of such heroic lovers, who prefers to describe himself in the image of a macho man, increasing his value in the eyes of a woman. The ladies themselves are led to such a street, dreaming of getting a heartthrob and becoming for him exactly the one and only that he needs.
3. It often happens that a man appears before his love object in the image of an independent and decisive person. He is trying in every possible way to demonstrate that he cannot be controlled, much less told what to do and how to do it. Guys absolutely do not want to admit that representatives of the fairer sex can have advantages in some ways, be stronger and smarter than them.
4. Feigned indifference and indifference is another mask, a protective barrier used by many men in love. Of course, it is sometimes difficult for women to be around such an individual, because they have to constantly guess whether he really loves her. But patience sometimes pays off, and it may turn out that the long game was worth it. A loving husband and father of children will be next to you.
5. It often happens that a woman tries to put pressure on her lover, push him around, command him and constantly nag him. As a result, the young man becomes more and more distant from her. Of course, a man wants to remain strong and make his own decisions. A woman just needs to let him do it, and nothing more. Then such problems will not arise.
6. The behavior of a bully may also indicate that a man is in love, which he wants to hide. With his impudent and boorish actions, the guy just wants to attract the attention of his beloved, because he actually knows very well that many girls like bad boys. In fact, this rebel may well become an excellent family man and father to children in the future.
7. One of the most common behaviors of men in love is creating an aura of mystery around their person. The guy does not tell his beloved a lot of information about himself, he is in no hurry to introduce her to friends and involve her in his own plans. It is this method that helps a man in love to interest and intrigue the object of passion, to become attractive in the eyes of the woman he loves.
8. Showing friendly attention to the woman he likes, which a man dreams of turning into a love path. At first, he, of course, will look closely at his beloved, posing as her faithful friend, but, in the end, he will decide to admit his own feelings. It often happens that such friendly relationships become a prerequisite for the birth of a happy and strong marriage.

As well as, most importantly, why male representatives hide their feelings remains a mystery for many women. But to recognize a gentleman who is truly in love with you, it is not at all necessary to have a lie detector. It will be enough just to have a little insight, the ability to observe a person and analyze his behavior. Surely this will help to recognize the motives of the chosen one’s actions and understand what’s what.

Why does a man hide his feelings for a woman - a very popular question

Manifestation of hidden feelings in young people

Falling in love at a young age can often manifest itself in an unusual way, when a guy is afraid of being funny because he chose a girl who does not meet the beauty standards accepted in his company.

This is due to internal immaturity, which does not allow individuality to be shown. The result is complete ignoring of the object or outright ridicule of it, similar to that of children, when boys, if they like a girl, try to attract her attention by unpleasant actions or by teasing her.

At the same time, the guy involuntarily tries to glance at the girl he likes. Often he tries to establish friendships with the girlfriends of the one he likes, in order to get information about her through them, find out her habits and what she likes.

A sign of a lover at this age is that he will willingly communicate with an object that he likes, but only if he is completely sure that his company will not find out anything.
