Depending on the girl that could backfire because a lot of the times that kind of question is a question they are asking themselves at that moment. The best bet is to just make the girl emotionally feel appreciated because that is usually why they ask that question.
In this guys situation, physical intimacy went to fast and now she is questioning if it is just a physical relationship (bad move OP).
My suggestion is to say the things you appreciate about her personality and mind (maybe something about yourself that you have learned through this relationship). If you can't think of anything, it may just be a physical relationship, which is bad in the long run, mmmkay.
Then if that was acceptable, plan something to wow her that isn't physical in nature. Something that will sweep her off her feet.Hope that helps.

So last night I was with the girl I have been seeing for the past month or so. We were sitting in the hot tub when she asked "why are you with me?" I was not really sure how to respond, so I said because I enjoy your company, and like being with you. Not really sure if thats the response she was looking for, and I wasn't really sure what to say to that question. Its only been a month and I suspect she was looking for a "Because I love you" or something like that which I don't want to say if I don't mean it. She said that it seems like all I want to do is just fool around when we are together and that I don't pay complete attention to her when she is trying to talk to me. Not really sure what I should say or do, any advice?
I highlighted the important part. Obviously she wants to know if you are just wanting to have sex with her or if there is more to your attraction than that. Her statement says that she thinks you don't care about her as a person, don't respect her, and blow off her ideas when you're together. She's not looking for "Because I love you".

women....they are all the same...same game different women
Insecurity masks itself in guys too. Guys who are insecure tend to be more confrontational as well, but in a way that is more straightforward. Girls are more passive in the way they confront things.
It is a mind game for sure.
Do you mean insecure girls are more passive in the way they confront things? Or are you generalizing about all women?
I'd agree completely with the former.
Yes, I am generalizing. Passive, because they rarely address the issue they are really thinking about, but address side issues, expecting you to knwo the real issue. Guys will outright say what they think usually and go from there. (It is a mind game, but it spurs from insecurity)
But if it spurs from insecurity isn't it safe to say that women who are not insecure would generally get to the point and not avoid the issues? Therefore it is safe to say that insecure women are more passive in the way they confront things, but not to generalize that all women are?
That said, I agree with you completely, regarding insecure women. Having been one through most, if not all of High School I'm sure I've asked those types of questions. But I am also sure that I am no longer insecure and no longer ask leading questions to avoid the issues. (I'll double check with my bf tonight though just to be sure).
Also, I've dated guys in the past who were obviously insecure and would ask similar questions which were obviously dancing around the issues. It is very annoying, but luckily for me, a lot less common in men.

The relationship became physical because she wanted it to be. After the first week and a half of being together we were in bed and it almost led to sex, she said that she wanted to wait because she wanted the relationship to mean more than just sex. I told her that I would leave it completely up to her when we have sex, and if we got close I would stop it until she said yes prior to us fooling around. So I stopped it quite a few times until the point where she said before we started that she wanted to. So how should I sweep her off her feet in another way other than physical? Its getting cold in my area (snowed last night), so a nice walk probably won't quite be nice yet, sitting in front of a fire or in a hot tub would be nice at this time of year, but not sure what I should do to sweep her off her feet. I am also not great at talking about and saying my feelings so maybe I have to get past that for her.

she is setting you up..because she wants to see if you on the same page as her..only two ways to get out of this situation would have been by asking her one of these two questions:
"well why do you think im with you baby?"
or
"ill tell you baby if you tell me first?" then proceed to answer back with he same reasons but stated differently.

Find me a girl who doesn't have any insecurities, and I will marry them on the spot.

The fact of the matter is all people are insecure to some extent. Of course, you can find a girl who is more secure than the average person, and they are hard to come by and quite a catch if you find them.

I did, and all she said to my question is "You didn't answer my question" Seemed like she was mad at me after we got out of the hottub, and she didn't really want to fool around after. So should I just lie to her? Or make up something? I guess I will just have talk to her a bit and not fool around or sleep with her for a week or so... women drive me insane.

We went on a few real dates, then started dating. I have taken her out for dinner a few times in the last week, she has come with me for dinner at my parents house (dad used to be a chef) and loves my parents. They like her as well, and have invited her for Christmas with us on the mountain (we have a huge chalet for Christmas this year). I know that she likes me, and that she finds me physically attractive... she is the one who asked for my phone number not the other way around. I like her and enjoy spending time with her, not sure what I want from the relationship, I guess with every relationship you are seeing whats out there in the dating pool and looking for someone you could spend a lifetime with.

I would respond by saying: "Wow thats a great question. Why AM I with you? Convince me." Of course you must say this in a joking way, or else your just an asshole. And you must be secure with yourself to pull this off as well.
