what does 'soft spot' mean?

 

if someons from your past says they still have a soft spot for you still what does that mean?

[psychoanalytical]

I would think it means that they still think kindly/warmly of you from your shared past.

 

But I shouldn't think it means in a romantic way in general - though difficult to say as you have taken the words spoken out of context.

I agree..it means they still care about you -- like they haven't totally hardened their heart toward you... but I wouldn't take it to mean an ex wants you back.. or anything like that.

Thanks for the replies..

 

To be more specific, this person told me they still had a soft spot for me and if they saw me again would be tempted to kiss me and so on. They have also said that we had no ending (it is true, we broke up and i moved away and that was that, never saw him again) he has since continued to tell me he has some feelings for me but only after i asked him to which he replied, yah a lil.

It sounds like he's playing it smart, speaking in moderate differences, and not giving anything definitive away. Essentially it seems like he's trying to keep his options open as much as possible - and you can't really blame him cos I would do the same - but from your perspective he's doing it at your expense. So it's ur call as to how to handle the situation, but I should hope you feel better informed to make a decision.

If you have to wonder, then you should assume it means nothing.

It means they still like you, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they'd want to date you again.

 

I have soft spots for old friends from elementary school, even though I haven't seen them in years.

I have a soft spot for pretty much every man I ever dated.
