What does it mean when a man says this?

What does it mean when a man tells a woman he greatly appreciates her company? A guy I like said this to me and I'm hoping that maybe he likes me?

It sounds like he likes you

Torrid13 · Jul 10, 2009, 09:07 PM

He might like you, but I'm really not sure. I've never had a man tell that he "greatly appreciates" my company before.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. :S

Really? That would be super...

Torrid, I've never had a guy tell me that either... so I thought I would ask. I didn't know if that term was just used for friends or people they like!

Sounds pretty formal. I think it depends entirely on what he's like and how he talks. You could just ask him.

He's a good ol southern boy. Haha.

Ask him :) ask him what his feelings are you know?

I think he likes you as a companion. In other words, it sounds like he doesn't mind that you keep him company. If he begins asking you to spend more time with him, then maybe it would mean he likes you.

I've never asked a guy something like that before... is it the same as asking them out?

A companion like... just a friend? Well... at least he doesn't mind me being around then, I guess!

jenniepepsi · Jul 10, 2009, 09:42 PM

no. its not the same. Basically you would say 'so.. do you like me? More than a friend?" and see what his reaction is.

Survivor07 · Jul 10, 2009, 10:01 PM

Wow... I dated a good ole southern boy, too. He used to always say just about the same thing. "I really enjoy your company". At the time we were just getting to know each other on a "friend" level. I'd say he means just that. He enjoys your company and is glad you spend time/talk with each other. Time will tell. Best wishes.

So do you believe it's a positive thing? Like, that he is on his way to liking me, too?

It certainly isn't negative, if he's being sincere. If you are interested in more than a friendship, there's nothing wrong with you making the first move and asking him out. Then you'll know.

Oh wow. That's honestly scary to me. I've never done that before. I don't even know how.

If you are afraid to take the first step, then your only option is to wait it out and see if he makes the first move. Good luck hon.

It would be easier for me if I actually knew how. Sooo I say 'hey, do you like me?'
'yes I do purty thang'
'ok I like you too'
'wanna go out?'

Why do I feel like I messed that up. Haha.

If there's a place you like to visit or a restaurant you enjoy, you could ask him to "accompany" you. Something simple to get to know each other better.

OR continue to keep him company and wait for him to ask you out. Flirting wouldn't hurt... Maybe he's scared, too.

Lol. Inexperianced, yes, messed up, no :P

Your still learning. Just take it slowly and take it as a learning experience. You would be amazed at how many guys find that inexperianced fumbling, stuttering, mumbling kind of question very sweet and endearing. Who knows, this guy might think its cute :D

Add your answer here.
