Okay, I have a new boyfriend and he's a really great guy. Everything is going really well except whenever I'm with him and I'm quiet for more than 10 seconds he says "What's the matter?". It's driving me nuts. I'm not sure how to take it...if I really act like something is the matter or if he's just nervous. Has anybody ever had anything like this happen?
heyyfrankie
yeah it happens to me alot with my family. but i am just say, "if there is something wrong, i will either tell you or you will just know." and they were like, "okay _dry.gif " but at least they stopped asking me. happy.gif

Yeah, my boyfriend does that all the time. Even on the phone, if I'm quiet for just a little while he'll think something's wrong. Dont worry too much about it, but if it REALLY bothers you, just tell him to stop.

hahaha i think that's sweet =)). maybe he's just uptight and needs time to get used to it? i dont think it's anything to worry about.

Lol, my boyfriend that that to me on Saturday. "You look so sad. What's wrong?" I'm like "Nothing's wrong." A few minutes later, he asks that again. Argh. LOL. Anyhoo, he just cares. :P

Just tell him you're thinking or something. _smile.gif

Hehe. Maybe he's nervous about the whole situation and wants to make sure he didn't screw anything up.

well if it bothers u then why dont u talk? or do something to keep urselves busy ~_~
thesweetescape
I know he cares and that's why i know that's part of why he says it but he also always goes "what's up?" i just think he doesn't know what else to say and thinks we should be talking nonstop haha...i'm just not that kind of a girl where i talk 24/7 _unsure.gif

he's probably just trying to keep a convo going or trying to make sure he's not boring u in anyway lol, kno what i mean?

That wasn't even English. Stop trying so hard to piss people off. You're not very good at it.

Anyways, back on topic. I think he's just concerned that when you're quiet, you're not having fun. You should be happy that he cares that much to know what you're thinking.

oh, my ex was always like that. eh, he probably just cares about you.

Next time, say that you saw him with another girl the day before.
biggrin.gif That should confuse the crap out of him.

LOL, I do that sometimes with my boyfriend... it's probably because you are being quite... I know that my boyfriend gets quiet sometimes and sometimes it's because he's mad or whatever.. and thats the reason why when he's quiet I ask him "what's wrong" because I think that he's mad...
vivieeeen
oh come on, having a sensitive boyfriend (not oversensitive cause i suppose from the facts you've given he's not)

is a very very good thing and people should be content!

*cough* excuse my over-reacting biggrin.gif

i had this experience a few times.. i guess it's not really something to stress yourself about.. it shouldnt really bother you... like maybe he jus like cares too much for rite now.. since u ppl are new in the relationship.. also.. maybe he wants to keep a convo going.. or show you that he cares..
