Hi i'm 17 years old and me and my boyfriend (he is also 17) have been dating for 2 and a half years. I am so in love with him and I know that he loves me, but I think that since we have been dating for so long that he feels like he doesn't have to be romantic or say things like "I love you so much blah blah...you know the stuff that makes you feel happy really in love. Well how do I tell him that I miss it when he use to say stuff like that to me and how he used to treat me special. Now I feel like we are some married old couple I mean don't get me wrong everything is good I just miss that first time feelings of when he said sweet things to me. I'm sorry if this is really confusing ,but Idon't know what else to do.
First, talk to him about it a litte. Don't really complain or anything, just say something along the lines of "You know what I was thinking about the other day?" ("no, what?") "About how we used to say all those really cute things like when we first started dating. I sort of miss it." If he doesn't do/say anything, that's perfectly fine. At least you gave him a hint.
Then, write him a super mushy love note. Just explain how much you love him, you can't live without him, etc., and maybe hint at it again in the letter.

Or maybe you can do something romantic for him. just use your imagination. ive had a situation like this before and complaining about it wont do any good because thats what i did so dont do that lol. Try to use reverse sycology(i dont know if that is spell right) because if you do something for him or say something to him chances are he will do the same right back to you.

Send him love notes for no reason. Randomly stop what you're doing and call him just to say you love him. Bake him cookies/brownies/cupcakes (because food is the best way to a guy's heart :D).
Start doing the sweet things for him that you want him to do for you. If he's a good boyfriend, he will start doing nice things for you again.
I've been dating by boyfriend for 2 and a half years as well. It's really hard to stay close because I'm at college and I often feel the same way you do. I started about a month ago doing those little things for him whenever I could and things got a lot better between us. [ sugarplum07's advice column | Ask sugarplum07 A Question ]
rachey answered Tuesday February 5 2008, 10:56 pm: my boyfriend and i were like that. we had been going out for a year. what i would suggest is to find something that first drew you two together and do that again or something. Like going to a concert or something. [ rachey's advice column | Ask rachey A Question ]
