so the stranger it is huh? well let me discuss with you about your bf. you said overall he's a pretty decent guy or rather he's well rounded. but he doesn't show the lovey dovey crap that you want from a bf. my first guess would be he's not the type to show affections easily and he has to keep his image of the "man" of your life by not showing these emotions. or secondly, you might wonder if maybe he doesn't show these affections to you because he feels the same way that you do. both of you are in a relationship that seems to be going good, but you're not to sure of the futre. sure you're happy right now, but maybe he doesn't see you as wife material so he won't give it his full effort. i know you'r enot planning on being with him forever, so why try so hard right? look at it from that angle. raverboy
