i have a boyfriend we've been going out for a while now, and well, he likes me and cares about me i know that, but it always seems like i'm making the effort, that i'm always putting myself out there to do things, and it's really getting to me, and i'm not sure what to do, but the thing is he doesn't know anything is wrong, i've told him but he still doesn't really get it i guess, if you asked him how we were doing he'd probably say really good, but i don't really know what to do about it all

EliseGrayce answered Wednesday March 16 2005, 3:13 pm: Treat him that way for a while. When he asks whats wrong, tell him what your doing and tell him why. Maybe he thinks that if he tried to hard he would smother you, because alot of girls are really bothered by that. If he is busy with sports and things like that, then you have to respect that. I have dated sporty guys for ever and it used to bother me so much when my boyfriend of a year would choose sports over seeing me, but sometimes even if they dont say it... they would really much rather be seeing you. Guys are alot more serious abuot things like that. But Maybe thats not what the problem is... if not then maybe you should let him know you are really serious about it. And give him a little of his own medicine, dont call him - if he wants to talk he will call. Dont ask him to do things, let him --- things like that. Hope this helps [ EliseGrayce's advice column | Ask EliseGrayce A Question ]
