He never treats me like his girlfriend, he pretty much treats me like his sister. But its like he's a whole different person when he texts me. What should I do?

VoiceofReason answered Wednesday December 12 2012, 4:40 am: Some guys just aren't outwardly affectionate. It's one thing to write about how one may feel internally, but for some reason, and it is either due to either just the mere dint of his personal sensibility or the way he was raised, that outward affection, especially in public, isn't part of his personal aesthetic. It happens. Seven billion people on the planet and an equal number of different sensibilities.
So what you need to do is decide SPECIFICALLY what you want from him and talk to him in clear terms about it. Let him know you think he rocks and more overt affection would make you feel more valued and closer to him.
Just keep in mind that it you can't make a leopard change its spots. If he just isn't capable of giving you what you want then you have no other choice but to walk. It's not your fault. Sometimes partners find that, at the end of the day, they are incompatible. The value in having that relationship is what you learn from it rather than play the blame game. So relax and take this problem on rationally and see what materializes. [ VoiceofReason's advice column | Ask VoiceofReason A Question ]
kayna answered Sunday December 9 2012, 1:26 am: Are you his girlfriend? Have u made that official together? If so, maybe he's just nervous around you. Guys say a lot of things while texting but fewer things in person sometimes. Just confront him and simply ask why he acts different when around you. His answer may surprise you. It's better to know than to wonder. I'm pretty sure it's just his nerves though:) [ kayna's advice column | Ask kayna A Question ]
