I'm seeing someone, it's early, and in the context of discussing my feelings for them, told me "not to sound egotistical or narcissistic, but I'm pretty easy to like, right?" And then listed traits they have. The implication was that they thought that enjoying traits about them wasn't the same as liking them - that was my read.
I even asked, do you feel like I don't "see" *you*? And of course, I can't remember what they said.
Several times since we started talking they've said "there's a lot you don't know about me yet' as in trying to temper my enthusiasm about them. Which is odd, because they didn't really temper theirs for me.
So what do you all think - when we like someone is it fair to say (that in addition to some level of attraction) it's a group of specific traits that make them feel like your person?
I enjoy so many things about them, I admire them, it's really a shame they don't understand that.
