He said labels "freak him out"? What does this mean?

He wants his cake and to eat it too.

It's odd, really. Men want to be able to say they have a girlfriend, as in sexual partner, but don't want to give up the option to have sex with other women, or men. So, when they act like this, they are just being "honest" that they want both. Most guys use "girlfriend" as a term for regular sexual partner, only slightly more monogamous than "friends with benefits." Being married is just a term for sex on a fairly constant basis with the same women, unless others happen to be handy.

In my day, "did things" meant you were married, a committed couple, a family, etc. Today, it's like going to the toilet. It means nothing.

If you really like him, I guess you have to accept his terms and just call him a "friend with benefits." It's clear that "girlfriend" turns him into a fearful little baby, because he hasn't grown up. Though, given the propensity for people to cheat today, he may just be avoiding being hurt as he expects you to cheat on him.

He is enjoying sexual activity with you and he didn't even have to agree to be your exclusive boyfriend.

He is giving you a bunch of B.S. so he can get sexual with you and still talk to other girls. He justifies this by claiming you have 'no label.'

BTW, you are not supposed to meet family members until you are OFFICIAL and EXCLUSIVE bf/gf.

You would be smart to give him nothing more than a goodbye kiss until you are official. Right now, you sound like you are his play toy. Just being honest.

What Chrissy said. Doesn't want a commitment..

labels dont freak me out BUT they are meaningless ---- will slapping a label on your relationship change how you feel???

if so then you may as well end it now

this obsession with labels baffles me ---- why cant you go out together enjoy each others company and not worry how other people see you???

if the lady im with asks such questions i would be gone because to me the label is more important to her than being with me

Its meaning: to become very angry or lose control of one's mind because of someone or something that has happened. I absolutely freaked out over the whole business!

to lose or cause to lose emotional control from extreme excitement, shock, fear, joy, despair, etc.: Seeing the dead body freaked him

he doesn't like labels because he doesn't like responsibility.

my take

He may be afraid of commitment
