Does he make you a priority in his life? Guys have more than one priority...things very important to him that will take his attention,but you should be one of top 3.
What he does for you or how he acts can't be faked easily because it's hard to lie with your body. Things he does without having to be asked, making dinner, picking up something for a collection for you have, making time for you, even if it's a walk or going to a movie. If the guy likes you, he'll make time for you at least a quarter of the time.
So I suggest you have a conversation with him. Let him know how you are feeling without accusing him of neglecting you. If a happy compromise can't be reached that you can live with, then you may need to re-evaluate whether you would be asking too much of any man, trying to find your self esteem in him. Or is he just not that into you and it's time to move on.
More words from the relationship expert:
It's impossible to love others and be loved by others unless you love yourself first.
Don't look to a man for all your self esteem and self worth. Have it already before relationship..

clanker answered Monday July 19 2004, 8:41 pm: well, there are tons of ways to get a boys attention. one way that works with all boys is to flirt with them. you know what i mean. but different people like different things and sometimes you just have to try a lot of things. for example, you might get the attention of one boy by acting slutty, but you may drive another away with the same thing. you really have to try until you find something that he likes.
