my boyfriend and i have been dating three years- he's 18 and i'm almost 18. i love him more than anything, and i know he loves me the same. the thing is, he doesn't really show it sometimes. i mean, we cuddle, kiss, fool around and all that, and he is sweet sometimes. but other times, it's like he doesn't even want to express how he feels about me. he's never been the really romantic type. but when we first started dating, he wrote me a song, recorded it to a CD, and made a cute little cover for the case as a present for our one & a half years. (we were sort of awkward for the first few months, haha). and he used to leave me cute messages on my away message, and cute little stuff like that. i leave him very cute emails and comments that constantly tell him how i feel. he isn't on his computer much, and his personality isn't one that's super-expressive of his feelings. but then again, i feel like if he's really in love with me, he should want to be cute to me, you know? i just don't want him to take me for granted. i've talked to him about it, and he just says he'll try, but that's 'just how he is'. any help on the issue is greatly appreciated!

Some people really aren't the romantic type who is always doing things like the CD thing, you know? And I think it really is safe to say that's "just how he is". You can't change that about someone without being hurtful toward them, if that makes sense.
You said you've talked to him about it, and I think you owe it to him to trust that everything is fine and that REALLY is just how he is. If something were seriously wrong, you would know.
