Question Posted Thursday December 30 2010, 11:59 pm
I have been communicating with my boyfriend for a year before we got together and we just made it official on Christmas day. Now even though I feel like nothing has changed, I don't feel like he is really committed to "us" like I am. He is the same age but is like a big kid. And the only time he is mature about anything is in the bedroom. Sometimes I feel as though I'm rushing things or maybe he doesn't take the relationship seriously. I thought maybe I should just ignore him for a couple of days or act non-chalant on certain things to get his attention. Should I give it a try?

Show him your not going to put up with this act. He will consider your feelings and fix his mistakes. Don't ignore him. Just don't look to happy when your with him. He needs to know what's wrong in your guys relationship and what's right. I usually don't like to act mad to my boyfriend when he acts immature but sometimes I have to so he can see when I'm not happy of what he's done. A girl needs to get what she deserves. So try that. It should work. [ miranda_love's advice column | Ask miranda_love A Question ]

I would suggest trying to talk to him about it. Maybe he has some trust issues or feels a bit insecure, or maybe that's just his personality.
Also, you two haven't been officially dating long. Yes I know you two have known each other for quite a while but being in a relationship with someone is different to being friends with them. And even if you don't feel that way, he might. Dating you may be completely different to being friends with you and so he isn't taking everything totally seriously yet.
Just relax a little. Ease into the relationship like you would with any other. Don't take it so seriously, it's only just beginning to blossom. If you can't, then as I said before try to talk about it. In the end your relationship might work or it might not, but you can't tell the future.
