so meagan, me and my bf have been together for quite a while now and he's always been alittle shy.. maybe that's the right word, or maybe embarrarsed it better, but he never wants to hold my hand or flirt with me at school, or when were with our/his friends. i mean i didn't really care that much about it before but now that i think about it, i woudl really like him to at least hold my hand. cuz when it's just me and him, he's the sweetest. and he shows that he really really really likes me, and hes just perfect, but i don't know what to do about when were at school or with our friends. can u please help me?

Sorry for the inconvenience. Now on to the answer: As bad as it is to assume, I am assuming that your boyfriend is a good bf (because you have been together a while now) and that by now he can tell when you are upset or mad. Instead of joking around when he doesn't hold your hand, show your true feelings! You don't have to say it, but even the dumbest guys can see when their gf is upset. I am sure he will ask you what's wrong or if he did something (eventually) and this is when you have to take advantage of the situation. He really wants to know what is going on inside your head. Tell him that he acts different at school or around your friends, or better yet do these four steps: 1) COMPLIMENT him, 2) tell him how you FEEL, 3) state the PROBLEM, and 4) COMPLIMENT him again! Hope I helped!
