Am I too sensitive for a man?

One night, I was playing Smash Bros. when all of a sudden, I heard my phone ring. I picked it up and my friend had called me. She told me on the phone that she liked me and she wanted to go out with me. I went into shock because this girl, I secretly liked her, but I think she sensed it.

When we hung up and I went to bed, I cried a little for about 2 min. I never had a girl say anything this nice to me. (I'm almost 23 btw.)

Am I too sensitive for a man? Maybe I'm just over emotional. My heart was just so touched, it just felt so romantic.

Emotions aren't a bad thing unless you let them control you.
It's okay to get choked up about things...at least you feel.
It's only when you always choose emotions over logic that you have a problem.

If you're 23 and you cry after a girl calls you, its time to grow some. Also, don't let your guard down over emotions.

Men can be just as sensitive as women, don't fall for the stereotype. Being a man is unrelated to the topic.

I went through the same thing. Kind of.

After she told me she liked me too, she told me she was getting engaged. I cried, but I got over it. I was 21 I think. There's nothing wrong with crying.

I cried because of the whole thing, not just because she called.

Also, I didn't cry a river. I think it was just a few tears.

The whole thing? That's pretty much letting your child out now. However, don't cry in the future over something like this, as like I said before it is a sign of letting your guard down.

Letting my guard down?

Indeed you are being overemotional. Tears are for the weak!

No, man, I kid. You sound a little antisocial in terms of romantic relationships, which makes your reaction perfectly natural and normal. They were probably tears of joy. I would not, however, advise weeping during the first date. Enjoy!

Why would there be anything wrong with crying? It's a natural emotion. I also believe it's better to cry than to hold things in.

Tell me about it.

True, I used to be antisocial a few years ago with relationships. I've never had a girlfriend before.

Don't worry then, kiddo. You've already won the hard part of the battle: getting the girl to like you. All that's left is to do what comes naturally to you. Having a girlfriend is exceedingly more annoying then not having one, but it's worth the hassle.

And don't listen to Nox. He was clearly abused as a child.

Emotions bring spice to life! Making decisions on impulse is great! Flow with your emotions and they will take you to wonderful places you have olny dreamed of!

Just be careful because too much emotion on one bite of the taco of lie will burn your taste for adventure.

Aw, that's pretty sweet. ._. It's okay to cry out of happiness, or sadness. I do know guys that are a lot more sensitive than most girls. o.o So don't worry about it.

Right, because crying is a concious choice and not a knee-jerk reaction to emotion >_>

Silly.

And yeah, I second what most of the people here said, sensitivity (or a lack thereof) is unisex.

So, you got over being in love with video game characters? That's a good step forward.

I'm sorry, but I'd have be inclined to agree with Nox on this one. I guess I can't relate.

Well I'm a girl so I don't know if I'm gonna be right or whatever. I think thats pretty sweet . Well I mean maybe since its the first time that someones talked to you that way. Hopefully next time you wont get so emotional but I think its ok for the first time.

Hey, my boyfriend was on the verge of tears when I said that I really loved him and that I wanted to go out with him.

I personally don't think that a man crying over love is being all childish. I actually found it very beautiful because it shows that he has emotions and I loved him for it.

Touché.
