Paternal instincts

Are you expecting anyone here to have an answer for this?

Not particularly unusual, a lot of people have parental urges or desires in their teens and twenties.

Makes sense but I have never seen a guy have these strong feelings to the extent of following new born channels and tiktoks on essentials to take to the hospital

Why do you care so much??

I mean would I post it here if I didn't?

He's someone I fancy

And?? If that's something he likes then let him be lmaoo. He's hurting absolutely no one by his interest in that.

Yes? Maybe?

We get 1000s of threads with next to no info expecting us all to read a strangers mind for another stranger. We're not going to know what he thinks.

I'm not trying to change him, just trying to understand why.
This is a place to ask questions and engage in some productive discussion right? It's new to me, seeing a single, young, childless man be so interested in having a daughter. I was hoping for some general psychological reasoning behind this...
I have not even bothered him about it.

Mate no one asked you to reply or even engage in this post. I'm not expecting anything from you, move on if you have no input.

I'm nearly 19, I've wanted kids my entire life, my desire was exacerbated when so many of my close friends (older ones) started having babies. Every Time I went to a clothes shop I would spend ages looking at the baby clothes and select what I would get if I had a baby. Recently I even thought about getting a life size Annabelle doll from Smith's and pretending I had a baby, I planned to buy it clothes and to bath it and buy cradle for it to put in my room. I dropped the idea because I didn't want to look like a schizophrenic. (I can assure you I'm not) And I'm not a dangerous person, just loved the idea of a baby.
