what does this mean?

[helpneeded]

if u ask someone whether they love the other person and they answer 'yes i do feel for her'.......does this mean yes i do love her or i feel sorry for her?!

 

thanks

either.

 

The problem with the word "feelings" is that it can run the gamut of emotions from a very mild concern about someone's well-being to the greatest passion. It's very imprecise.

 

Try to sense the meaning by the non-verbal communication. Intensity of voice, for instance.

 

As a general rule in communication - if in doubt, ask for clarification

Have you heard the comercial where the parrot says "she is irritating, but I am desperate"?

 

It is classic!!

Whoever said "I feel for her" is probably too scared to admit straight out that he is in love, if he is. Regardless, the statement sounds like he cares about her and if it is not love yet, he feels it could end up being so later.

OK are they young (like highschool age)?

 

If so, some people don't want to say they love someone for fear of spoiling the deep meaning of the word. For example, I have a friend who tells his gf he loves her every 5 minutes. When he says it, it no longer seams as meaningful as if you have just told someone that you love them for the first time.

You see, he didn't just say "I feel for her" which could imply that he felt sorry for her. He said "YES, I do feel for her." He was asked a question, and the first answer he gave was "yes." If he was saying he felt sorry for her, why would he say "yes" first?

am I right in thinking you have a romantic interest in him and are trying to find out if he is available or is interested in her?
