FAQ
More about 'nvm'.
What does it mean when a guy says nevermind?
He had something to say and pulled it back — usually out of nerves, hurt, or self-protection. It's rarely actually nothing. DearHim helps you tell whether to gently draw it out or let it sit.
Should I ask him what he was going to say?
Yes, if you do it warmly and once. 'No really, I want to know' invites him back without pressure. Badgering does the opposite. I'll word it for you.
Why do guys say nvm instead of just telling you?
Often it's fear of the reaction — saying the real thing feels riskier than retreating. Making it safe to share is what brings it out.
