“I have never been so attracted to anyone, ever”

[TeddyRuxpinsSmile]

Is this a thing men just say? I’m dating after divorce and i was flattered with the first guy…suspicious the second. Am I being unreasonable to think it’s just a line, however vehemently they say it?

Yep, just wants to get into your pants

Thought this was another Andy Burnham thread. Was coming to say same.

Yep. It’s taken me nearly 34 years to believe my DH when he tells me that I’m beautiful and that he loves me now more than the day he met me. For years I was suspicious but - whether he’s worn me down, got really good at acting - I’ve finally decided to believe him.

Tend to think men find the woman in front of them, the one that is showing some interest in them, to be the most attractive woman they’ve ever met… until that moment. But I’m a jaded and cynical old bag!

Facts!!

This made me laugh.

As a man who is an involved and dedicated single divorced dad, I can say that the context matters. I’m generally careful with my words and I’m certainly no “player”, but if he’s a decent man, shows you through his actions and behaviour that he cares, and shows up for you even when it’s messy and maybe not always in the ways you might want him to show up, he probably means it.

If it’s early on, you haven’t slept together yet, and you’re still getting to know each other, then yes, be cautious and look for his actions before you believe it.
