Question Posted Wednesday November 28 2007, 3:16 pm
hey so my boyfriend and i have a great relationship. we are never awkward at all and we talk ALL the time. but today i was feeling really tired and just not that talkative and i noticed after i got home from school that we didnt talk at all. and i feel like the only reason we didnt was that i didnt talk to HIM. i doubt he did it purposely but like.. he could have said something to me without me having to come up to him and say something. also he really shows he likes me when we just hang out alone, (kissing/holding hands) but at school he just like treats me like a friend and most of the time when we are around other people even out of school. i dont want him to be all lovey dovey around me when other people are around.. but it would be nice for him to do some things to remind me that he really likes me. what are some ways i can tell him this but like.. joking around kind of way. cause i dont see it as a big deal i have to confront him about really. or do you think i should just let it go?
thanks<3

hope this helped you out a little bit!

Also, if you TOLD him not to do anything like that, even in a joking way, then he won't do it at all, which is a sign that he really does like you and respects you. And maybe he sensed that you didn't feel like talking, especially if you told ANYONE, because they may have told him.
I think you should talk to him. Like you mentioned before, you guys are really close and both like each other a lot, and it takes WAY more than a little confrontation to mess that up.
