Men are usually lateral thinkers. They say what they want to say. But when it comes to relationships, they mix. If your man says that you are special to him, these are some of the possible things he could be meaning.

He is interested in you seriously

When a man tells you that you are special to him, he is trying to tell you that he is getting serious with you. Since she doesn’t want to be too strong, she chooses her words carefully so that the two of you can get into the relationship.

You want to take things to the next level.

If you’ve been dating for a while and your man says he finds you special, then he’s implying that he wants to take things to the next level with you. You want to approach the relationship with caution and are therefore taking small steps to let you know how you really feel.

He’s letting you know that he cares deeply about you.

By telling you that you are special to him, your man lets you know that he cares deeply about you. He says this to make it clear that you are not “just a friend” to him, but much more.

Could be trying to create a distraction

Sometimes a man may say that you are special to him just to create fun. If he’s not sure how he feels about you and yet feels the need to validate his feelings for you, then he says that you are special to him. It’s his way of making you stay until he can figure out how he really feels about you.

He could be shy to tell you that he’s falling in love with you

Some men are shy and can’t find a way to tell their girl how they really feel about them. Your man could also be deeply in love with you but for lack of courage he would settle for saying that you are special to him.

He has finally understood his feelings for you.

Sometimes a man takes the time to identify his real and true feelings for you. If your man has finally understood his true feelings for you, then he will tell you that you are special to him.

He calls you special to retain his male image

There are some men who feel that admitting how they really feel makes them less macho. Your man might tell you that you are special to him to let you know what your special place is in his life and yet maintain his macho exterior.
