Boys Without Emotion

Sometimes I talk to the guy I’m dating and he literally has no emotion to what I’m saying — whether it be a joke, a complaint, an accomplishment of mine. What is this about? It drives me insane. I really like him but sometimes I feel like I have to be like “…and then the building came crashing down on everyone killing everyone but me” to see if he realizes I’m talking. Does he not like me?

No, this has nothing to do whether he likes you or not. He may love you. Men just experience emotions very differently than women. Men tend to not express their emotions as much or respond as emotionally to things as much. See this as a difference in the sexes rather than his opinion of you.

A dating coach, body language expert, and comedian, Ryan Clauson is known as “Mr. Attraction.” Recently winning the 2010 “Fastest Rising Star” award by Campus Activities Magazine, Ryan teaches men and women from around the world healthy ways for meeting, attracting, and dating the right person for them. Combining his background in stand-up comedy with over 7 years of intense research on dating and attracting behavior, Ryan’s laugh-out-loud funny and high energy programs inspire people to take positive action and improve their lives. Growing up in New Hampshire the youngest of six children, Ryan was so shy he hid in the bathroom during school formals, being too nervous to ask someone to dance. Through years of learning and practice, Ryan overcame his shyness and began teaching others the powerful social skills that produced such positive results for himself. Ryan is a former professional hockey player and current marathon runner. He ran a non-profit fitness program for children with disabilities, and being a type one diabetic, continues to mentor others afflicted with the disease. Having a passion for optimal health, Ryan also teaches simple ways to drastically boost your energy and become the healthiest version of you.
