Need advice: What can I do to find out if my boyfriend feels the same way about me as I do him?
Question Posted Sunday November 13 2011, 12:35 pm
My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 13 months. I feel so happy when I am with him and he tells me that he feels equally happy. I feel that we have a very healthy and faithful relationship. We are intimate and romantic and it's a beautiful relationship.
I have this feeling where I don't ever want to move on and I just want to stay with him forever. He makes me that happy. and I completely love who I am when I am with him. I want to feel that way forever.
Although I am unsure what the future holds, if I had to pick anyone i'd want to share my life with it would be him.. wanna know why? because i know that if he ended up with me, he would be safe forever. I would protect him. I would not let anything happen to him. Then I would for sure know that he will be okay.. But thinking that he could possibly end up with someone that's not me, is a scary thought for me. It's actually really scary because then I wouldn't be so sure how safe he is, how well he's treated, and how much he gets. Because my darling, to me, deserves everything right. All I want him to be in this world is happy. He's walked me through numerous stages of my life, and I just want him to walk me through more.
That being said, I wonder if he feels the same way about me. I want him to want to be with me forever because i want to be with him forever. But how do i get him to say it if he thinks it? I just want to see if he feels the same way I do. A lot of guys like to hide their sensitive feelings and occasionally, he will come out and say his true feelings, but can you please give me advice on what i can do or say to get his true feelings out of him. I really want to know.. Like what can I do for my boyfriend to get him to reveal everything he's feeling about me? Should I do something emotional? Please help me!!!

You're right - some guys do hide their true feelings and tend to not get as soppy as us girls.. but sometimes it's nice to hear it, right?
Have you actually told him how much he means to you? If you haven't, maybe he's a little scared at making the first move with this sort of thing? Perhaps write it to him? In a letter? Card? Possibly for Christmas?
You say your relationship is healthy - that's great to know - and should be a little bit of a hint he's happy with you and feels strongly for you - after all, you've been together quite a while, now.
Don't be afraid to show your feelings to him - 'cause if he is a little scared to tell you, it will put him more at ease with showing his sensitive side more.
I'm sorry I can't offer much help, it's just one of those things that'll come out naturally.
Have a romantic night together - go for a meal, etc and tell him how you really feel.
I want to know how it all works out as well, so please leave some feedback. :) [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
