hes not romantic or affectionate


Question Posted Monday August 16 2010, 2:57 pm

My boyfriend and i have been dating for about 6 months. he treats me good, and were like best friends. only problem is, he is not like romantic. Hes never done anything really cute for me... he hardly ever takes me out on dates, and i have to like nag him to like go out to dinner or a movie and he never wants to pay.Besides that though he treats me really good, and its the first guy i can actually trust. He just doesnt know how to be romantic and do cute things for me, and when i try to tell him i need more, he'll ask how or what i want him to buy me, and i dont want to have to tell him, thats rude, his sisters husband says shes the same way, so it must just be the way they were brought up.

I've already told him he is not romantic and i need more, but he just doesnt get it, and its nothing like worth breaking up over but it would really make him so much more perfect. Plus, he hardly says i love you cause he says it was over used in his last relationship, but he still shows he loves me in his actions.

any advice on what i could doo?

You said it yourself, hes the first guy you trusted, he is better matched with someone who doesn't give a damn whether he loves them or not. You need a guy to get off his backside and show he loves and respects you. Who thinks about you and runs you a hot bath when your tired and looks after you. The longer you stay in this relationship, the worse it will get until it comes to an end. Detach all feeling for this guy and move on. It oculd hurt for a bit, but you'll find a guy one day, or maybe even sooner who loves you to death and shows he loves you, just by the way he looks at you. who'll take to every place you've ever wanted to go and give you the dream wedding, child and family you've always wanted. Just because he loves you. hold out for him and don't just settle on second best because you trust him :)

If he's not taking the hint, maybe you should just tell him! The kind of romance your looking for isn't something that comes easy to some guys. So you can either be annoyed that he isn't doing enough cute stuff for you, or you can tell him what you like and make it easier for him to understand.

Also do you do things for him that he really likes or enjoys? Maybe if you do he might be more eager to please you in return. :)

Apparently your interpretation of romance is him buying you things.


I think you should break up with him because he deserves much better than you.
