Reply to comment by [deleted] in Men of Reddit, when a guy says “i like you because you give me attention” what does that mean? Is that a good thing? Or do i need to run? by [deleted]

I told him i think he only likes me because he knows i like him more, then he said “oh no, i like you because you give me attention, and i think you dont lie to me”

How old are you?? I mean most guys do really love it when a girl gives attention but if he gives you the same amount Back I don’t see anything wrong with it outside of maybe wording things more romantically

That sort of turns around the context to positive for me. If he'd only said it in return to maybe a "why do you like me" then I would say he just likes the fact that you like him. But I think it being a reassurance says it's more like, you give him the time of day. Which is cute. Obviously beyond that I don't know what he's like but in that particular context, I wouldn't take it as a red flag. But yeah just talk it out, it seems like maybe you've got some of your own insecurities about the relationship or yourself- not trying to be judgemental, of course, it's totally normal!
