AskMeNething answered Thursday July 13 2006, 7:57 am: If your boyfriend doesn't like you, then we wouldn't be dating you. So there's a, age difference, who cares! If you care about him, that shouldn't matter.
No on to the 'real' issue here. You say that 'he thinks' that you don't trust him. Which can only mean one thing, that you've given him a reasone to feel that way. You could've said just one little thing or you could've been joking around, but still, he could've took you seriously. For emample: "I went over to study at my science partners house last night," says your boyfriend. Now, keep in mind his science partner is a girl. Then you replay by saying, "Sure, that's what you went there for." Even if you say that sentence or another sentence like it while laughing, he'll still take you seriously.
What you should do is talk to him, ask him what have you ever done to make him feel as if he wasn't trusted by you. It may be something that you do or say everyday. Because if you're anything like me, then you're a sarcastic person, a very sarcastic one. Trust me, don't even joke around with him about something that serious. When I do that with my boyfriend, he freezes up on me and thinks that I'm being 100% serious. I hope I helped! If you can, please rate and give feedback.
OneRegretToManyx answered Thursday July 13 2006, 5:37 am: well...try seriously talking to him. sit him down and talk with him about it and ask him why he thinks that.
tell him you dont (unless you do) and tell him you wouldnt lie to him (unless you would)
tones17 answered Thursday July 13 2006, 5:35 am: The answer to all these questions my dear is rather straight-forward.
This will be me repeating myself again but the only thing to do is to sit and talk.
Tell him how you feel and listen to what he has to say and come to a mutual agreement and take it from there.
Hope ive helped :)

hes probably just a little sad and mad that you dont trust him.
tell him that you really do trust him, and he has nothing to be worried about. just show him all your trust for him, and then he'll probably start acting like he likes you more.
Lola answered Thursday July 13 2006, 1:43 am: Hey,
First of all,the age gap is totally no big deal and has noting to do with your boyfriend not liking you.
Second of all, there is no reaseon for him to think that way, because unless there is ,then he's wasting your time.
Look, its a very sweet thing to worry about your boyfriend, and that he may not like you,but you have to be reasonable to try and figure out things around you and things that happen.
Now if there is no reason for him to think that you don't trust him,and if the age gap has nothing to do with the situation, then why would you think that he doesn't like you.
I mean.. i don't think that he will come and ask you out ,and be your boyfriend,and then tell you that he thinks that you don't trust him.Doesn't that sound alittle silly to you, because it does to me. Now, you are a good person and you care and love your boyfriend, then why don't you try and ask him what is it that makes him feel that way or think that way,mabye its just something bothering him or he's upset about something.And if he doesn't tell you in the first time, then ask him in the second time, then the third time,and if he still says that he simply has that feeling, then let go of the topic, and just pretend as if he didn't ever tell you. Because your not going to waste your time with some pathetic meaningless thing, as "i think you don't trust me for no reason". So, just consider what i said, and take it easy, its no big deal.
And if there any further problems, troubles ,worries or concerns,then please be free to contact me. [ Lola's advice column | Ask Lola A Question ]
jumadel answered Thursday July 13 2006, 1:33 am: Hi, you need to talk. Ask him why he thinks you don't trust him. Maybe you should ask him if he does like you just to be sure. Yeah, just talk it over with him. Daniel. [ jumadel's advice column | Ask jumadel A Question ]
Altruistic answered Thursday July 13 2006, 1:25 am: talk to him. ask him why he doesnt trust you and try to work things out. if he says he doesnt trust you because he thinks you flirt too much with other guys (just a random example), then you should stop doing and promise him you wont do it anymore, etc. As for whether or not he really likes you, you'll have to see for yourself in his actions though he sounds somewhat jealous if he doesnt trust you... but anyway, hope i helped. if you have anymore problems feel free to leave me a message!
