Boyfriend makes me cringe?!

Tbh I find it cringy too but at the same time, if I really feel the love, I will say it and then cringe with embarrassment .

It gets better with age.

thanks! yeah I'm trying to embrace it....

If he does not respect your boundaries he does not respect you.

Lay your boundaries out clearly, explain to him how it makes you feel when he breaches them. If he doesn’t respect them the only thing that boy needs to get used to is being single, simple.

So I've been with this guy for almost a month now, and we get along really well...he's funny, sweet, kind, we have pretty similar interests...
only problem is, every time he says something trying to be cute, romantic, complimentary, etc, I cringe SO hard! I can't stand it, and I end up saying something rude, pushing him away, ignoring him, rejecting him, changing th subject etc....

Examples:
'I love talking to you'
'you are so gorgeous'
'I really ****ing like you'
**** like that... over text and in real life

also he keeps trying to kiss the top of my head and snuggle with me which makes me cringe and lean away from him too, and I hate PDA (other than hugging). I have told him that I don't like that 'cutesy' verbal and touchy stuff so many times but he told me it's a part of his personality so I'll have to 'get used to it.'

I have been assaulted badly in the past so this may be a part of my trauma, but I just wanna know...

Is his cringy behaviour normal? Should I take it as a compliment? And am I weird for NOT wanting my boyfriend to act like this? Any advice?
I'm a 17 year old girl btw, no serious relationships in the past.

(yes, I do wanna do sexual 'stuff' with him, and I can be a physical person, it's just the cringey stuff I cannot tolerate)

Thank you!

Yeesh. There’s a difference between cringing at someone saying they love them, in an albeit interesting way, and abuse.

Accidentally making someone cringe does not equal disrespect. Chill out goddamn.

Cringy behaviour is most definitely normal! Particularly amongst younger men and women. Just tell him it makes you cringe, he’ll probably feel embarrassed for a bit and then try to accommodate. We’re all different and all have things we like/dislike.

To me it seems like you’re still not completely comfortable around him. Is this a new relationship? If so, just give it a bit of time. Sorry to hear about your abuse, hoping a positive experience with this guy could help alleviate some of the trauma.

Most importantly, you do you! If it does end up becoming a bit pervy or a bit ‘much’ and if he isn’t respecting your wishes or space, then these are definitely red flags.

Cringe is most definitely normal though, good luck!

I dont think the stuff he says is that cringy tbh
Surely its a good thing that he's expressing how much he likes you.

Most of it is normal behavior you are just one of those girls who prefer bad guys who are more aloof and treat em mean keep em keen

It is not accidental if he has been clearly told that it makes her uncomfortable, yet continues doing so regardless.
