Oook, I'll try to keep this short, bc no one likes a rambling post. I love my girlfriend, and she loves me. We've been together for a little over a year. My advice that i want is in the area of communication, this post is mainly directed towards women because I've yet to find a guy like myself. I'm a bit old fashioned in the realm of treating women, I consider myself a gentelmen and love to be very sweet to her and keep her as happy as i can, my goal is to make her life better. She had to deal with a bit of nasty divorce of her parents when she was younger and has a really hard time showing emotion. I on the other hand wear my emtions on my sleeve. When ever i want to have a serious talk with her or talk to her about serious matters she rarely opens up and it makes me feel bit sad. Also sometimes i look at her and feel overwhelmed with love for her and i tell her that, she has a really hard time telling me she loves or giving me compliments, i ed up having to ask her t tell me she loves me or things like that. When i try to have an intimate conversation with her responses are someimes plain yes/no asnwers followed by a chuckle or seomthing, and when i try to have a deep conversation with her i feel like im interrogating her or talking to a cat. Ive talked to her about it and she says shes trying to get better but wont change over night, its been a while nad ive sen little improvment. I'm frustrated because I was always under the impression that girls were always hassling their men to open up, not the other way around. Any advice at all would make me feel better.
