i just started dating this guy but have known him for a long time. everything is going fine, except that he doesnt like to talk about his feelings about our relationship at all. if i say "i'm happy", or "i miss you" he replies "i know you are/do/etc.", which mkaes me feel confused.he explained in the beginning of our relationship that he always had a hard time showing his feelings because when he was younger, his parents were not very affectionate. i really do like him a lot, and have for a while, and dont wanna pressure him to talk about it if he doesnt want to because i don't want to come off as pushy or annoying but i don't know what else to do...any help would be greatly appreciated

Problem expressing his feelings

hi, I think you may need to give him sometime, if he really cares for you he will eventually show it, even if his parents were not very affectionate.

How long have you been together? That's something especially for guys, that takes a while, especially if they're not used to it.
-
well i know exactly how you feel... my girl is the same way... and it's odd how she acts that way, not really expressing her feelings much... but you just have to take every word he says and take it to heart, because to him, it's what he says, and not how many times he says it.

Are you with someone..?? I thought you were still trying to get to go out with that girl..

If he hasn't been around that kinda thing, then it won't come out very easily. Give him space, like the other poster said if he means it he will most likely get around to saying it.Most guys are not as gushy with their emotions as us girls are, its just how it is.
