Yes. Yes. Yes.
BUT - I enjoy talking to him! It's just the crying that got to me. Maybe I am not used to such an outwardly emotional man, but it strikes me just like Medusa put it ... Needy.
I guess this might be a double standard too though, as Bubba put it. It wouldn't be so strange if a woman were doing the crying (although she still might scare some men off being clingy and needy!)

Women, for the most part, don't want a guy more emotional then them.

You are correct! At least, in my case. And I am extremely emotional, but something about what happened this weekend really turned me off. Other than that, he is great!
But I can't tell him to stuff his feelings because I don't like it. :-\
Re: Sweet ... or psycho? jillieb44: I think it is important that a man be in touch with his emotions -- heck, I got some deep insight into my fling yesterday that I never thought I'd see -- he let down his guard and I caught a glimpse of who he really is. I *do* find that refreshing that people can admit their hurts and needs.
But to cry for hours over having to leave? Seems very excessive to me.

Re: Sweet ... or psycho? whatnext: I'm an emotional guy -- raised by a mother, and I saw my father in the summers. My step-brothers are all very unemotional.
That said, he's being clingy, plain and simple. If you told me he cried a little when he left you, I would think that was sweet, but to follow it up with talk of moving in together, after only a few months -- I can see where that would scare off most of *us*. And I think that would be true if the gender roles were reversed.

Jillie, an aside -- is this really still a "fling" guy?
Re: Sweet ... or psycho? Shanna: my stbxh and I didn't even cry when he was leaving for Iraq....just not the type of person I was. SO I don't get it.
I have learned to cry since then.
