I'm so confused about my boyfriend, I mean he's the nicest guy, but he's so shy. He's forgetful too so he doesn't call all that often. The only things I seem to focus on about him anymore are his faults. I really do love him but sometimes I just get the feeling that he doesn't know what he's doing. Yet sometimes he does cute things (like grabs my hand which guys don't seem to enjoy) but usually only when were around my friends that are couples (I'm guessing he just copies what they do?) When were alone it's completely different, we talk about everything and nothing yet it still seems awkward; We don't go to the same school so that can account for being a bit awkward around each other since we don't see hangout as often. I want a bond with him like all my friends have where they play fight with each other, talk about their relationship and call each other just to say "Hi"
I don't know how to show him that I'm really into him and want to step it up a bit. Any advice?

Let him know that you need to hang out more, and that you want what other people have. But a relationship isnt a one way street. Why not start calling him yourself just to say hi. Why dont you FLIRT with him like hes your crush and not your boyfriend. Hit him kiddingly but make sure he knows its ok to hit you back. Look him in the eyes as much as you can, use humility around him, brush your hand against his, and make sure you say his name at least 3 times in a conversation with him. It makes people feel loved and important.

Dont dwell on them, because you probably do a lot of stuff too that he finds annoying, or things like that. He is a shy guy, and atleast he is open when he is alone with you, some guys are like that.
But really you cant want what other people have in relationships, because that will just screw yours up, focus on what you do have. Maybe he doesnt call you beacuse he truly does forget, so you should call him.
If you really like him, you'll forget about his imperfections, take a step back and look at yourself as well, and you'll try to talk to him more, and bond, and communication is the key, so theres nothing anybody can say on adviceanators that will help your relationship, because its all how you approach your situation.
