Words' meanings?
 

Depends on the situation when he said it

1) I wanna f*ck you
2) I want you to be my girl

I'm betting your guy meant the first one.

I had the same problem with the word mine.

it would be said to me during intimate times, and not intimate times. I still don't know what it could have meant, what he could have meant.

"Mine"? What about it?

oh, sorry. I meant in the sense of calling me his... one instance is he would put his arms around my legs, when we were sitting together, and say "mine".

Hmm... some guys get a bit, what's the word... possessive. It can be a good or a bad thing. My girl and I say we belong to each other, but it's not like I own her or something. I think saying "You're mine" is a bit sweet if they mean it that way

Depends on the context - does he tell you he wants you as he's grabbing you or in a tender verbal way while you're having a meaningful talk? The former is obvious, the latter less so. No way to know for sure which is why it's not a good idea to give in to him until you're 100% sure of his motivations. Guys can easily let their desires get the better of them and even convince themselves they want you but in the end find out (unfortunately) it was only physical. If you pride yourself & your body, and want to avoid getting hurt - make the boy work for it and prove that his desires last much beyond the physical - that takes time - but your heart and self-respect are worth it!

Oh, ok. well, I only know at the time it felt sweet. But now things are not at all how I want them to be, so now I just don't know.

ahhhh, two of several words that are emotional land mines - and very related to each other.

About the only clues to what someone means when they say the "want" you or that they regard you as "mine", is:

Consider the situation at the moment;
Listen to your heart and gut's response when it is said (not your mind's);
Ask them to explain.

None are foolproof and none can be relied upon beyond the moment. Want someone wants at a givien moment is always subject to change.

I would suggest that bearing in mind that this may very well be a passing thought for the other person, what is to be gained or lost by simply accepting it and living in the moment. Sometimes the risk is low and its time to just enjoy, other times the risk is high and you need more input before using what information you have.

"Mine" is the one that worries me more. Depending on the person's emotinal state, that can be a very sweet and welcome sentiment. But if the person tend to be overly dependent or possessive, be careful about encouraging it, or even accepting it.

I don't yet know him well enough to know if he's dependent or possessive. Though I'm inclined to think he isn't.

Unfortunately I don't know if matters right now, if he is or isn't.
