Aisha, you’re posing a reasonable question to someone of a **QUEER **mind. Trust me hon, you’ll get nowhere.
Now to answer your question. Keep in mind that this conversation took place over the internet. Therefore, we can only guess as to what is going on with this guy since we can’t see his facial expressions. So here are some possibilities for what he might have meant when he said, “So you care about me?”:
1) He’s interested in you (perhaps more than a friend) and that’s why he asked you such an unnecessary question.
**2) ** He’s joking around. I’ve seen guys and girls make flirtatious comments in a joking manner as well with very little to no meaning behind the words.
**3) **He thinks of you as a friend and is going through a rough time. Perhaps he’s sad. Perhaps he feels that people in his life don’t care about him. And he was happy that you care about him…that’s why he asked the question.
4) He wants to flatter himself that somebody cares about him. The next time he says, “So you care about me?” Say something smart like “Well only if you care about me.”
5) He’s drunk. Or he’s on some kind of medication that causes brain farts…resulting in strange unnecessary questions.
