Have you ever sat and thought to make sure that you guys relate to each other as people and have many of the same interest? Can you guys be there for each other in times of need? Do you love each other? If mental/emotional isn't there, then it isn't much of a relationship to be honest. You two really need to sit down and discuss this topic and work on it together. I've been there and done that and the first step is to talk to each other about it to get the bottom of this and find out the reason why it's just not there. After that you guys need to discuss ways to develop this. Perhaps, spending more time together and communicating more. If you can't solve it, then maybe you aren't meant to be lovers. Think about it... xo* [ MyPainIsReal's advice column | Ask MyPainIsReal A Question ]

To answer your question...sit him down without any distractions and tell him how you really feel. Dont give in to the physical part when trying to talk to him because he wont listen and only think about what hes gonna do with you. Ive had my share with this experience and you need to tell him straight up that you need him there. He'll understand and if he doesnt then its time to find someone else.
