Does he mean emotional or sexual feelings?

I have been seeing a lovely guy for about two months. Last night he texted to say ‘I’m just going to bed. Before I do, I just want to say that no one has ever made me feel the way you do and it’s really nice’.
I am a horrible over thinker. I’m worried he is just after a shag now. Please tell me i’m Being silly!

Text back ‘That’s a lovely thing to say, how do I make you feel? X’ or something?

I'd assume emotionally...! Sexually wouldn't have even crossed my mind...

I would assume emotional. Sexual wouldn't be followed with the adjective "nice" I don't think.

But if you're going to over think anything, it should be the "no one has ever made me feel this way before" line generally. Unless he's a teenager or early 20s in which case maybe he is being genuine.

I don’t doubt what he says is genuine. He is a very gentle and thoughtful person. But we have been friends/colleagues for quite a few years so I want to be sure. I initially thought he meant emotionally, then started to second guess myself.

It sounds a nice genuine thing to say. If he likes you that much he probably does want to have sex with you too so it can be both.

Sounds like emotional to me - it would only be the other option if he's never been aroused in his life and if that where the case I'd expect the wording to sound less polite and less mature

@philthesahd May need you to be my permanent voice of reason!

I'm with Phil. It doesn't read at all sexually to me, and the wording is weird if you twist it to be sexual.
