15 Things You Should Know Before You Date Someone Whoâs Hard On The Outside But Soft On The Inside
1. Theyâre not afraid to give you your space. In fact, sometimes, the more space and freedom there is in the relationship, the more theyâll find themselves being drawn to you.
2. Sometimes, theyâre sarcastic simply because they love being silly and witty. Other times, theyâre using it to mask something thatâs actually really digging at them. Youâll probably get really, really good at differentiating between the two.
3. They tend not to cry very often. But that doesnât mean that they arenât sensitive or compassionate. In fact, they sometimes feel things even more deeply than most outwardly emotional people.
4. Teasing you and goofing around with you will always be their favorite way to flirt.
5. But while they love being silly and lighthearted all the time, theyâll also be incredibly loyal and dedicated to you.
6. So although itâs not really their style to hug you and kiss you every five seconds and tell you how much they love you, theyâll find their own, subtle ways of showing you how important you are to them.
7. Whenever you ask them âWhatâs wrong?â theyâll tell you that everythingâs fine. And youâll have to ask them about 17 more times before they ever actually admit that somethingâs bothering them and that they need to talk about it.
8. They love playing it cool with you when youâre out at some social event together. And then later that night, theyâre the one rolling over to you for some much-needed cuddling.
9. Sure, itâs nice to feel physical chemistry with someone. But nothing excites them more than funny banter back and forth with someone they are really into.
10. They tend to be very independent, even more so than most people. Sometimes, they just need some time to themselves to recharge their batteries and give themselves some breathing room. But during their alone time, theyâre almost definitely missing you.
11. They love surprising you with little unexpected gifts, nights out, and simple acts of kindness. While to everyone else, they may come off as cool, aloof, and tough, theyâll be the first one out of bed in the morning to make sure you have a fresh, hot cup of coffee.
12. Sometimes, they can be bad about lashing out about trivial things. If theyâre upset because they forgot to DVR their favorite show or because the train to work was late today, itâs usually because of something deeper thatâs bothering them, that theyâre afraid to admit.
13. PDA is not their thing. Not because theyâre prude, but because affection is a very special and sacred thing to them. They just donât want to share you with anyone else.
14. Being on their bad side is not an ideal situation to be in. But being on their good side is pretty much the best thing ever.
15. Youâll become more important to them than youâll ever fully understand. They wonât talk to just anybody about their deepest thoughts and fears and emotions and worries. Youâll become more special to them than you can even imagine.
