How can you be that friggin' gorgeous and somebody doesn't treat you like a queen?!? Baffles the crap outta me. Anywho, how old is he? Does he wear you on his arm in public (i.e. show you off and go nya nya look what you don't have)? Have you had sex with him? Have you both met eachothers' parents? What relationship-building activities do you do with him when you are together?

This isn't about asking him to do anything unnatural to self or his personality in general. This is about your comfort level, and his. A common meeting ground, not bending someone to your will in that regard.
Case in point; you let this continue you will get more and more resolute that he does not give two flips about you, when his reaction might be "HUH?!" Do you see where I am going with this? If you let things build and build they don't do either of you any good. You wind up hurt and resentful, he picks up on that and creates distance. It will continue to cascade to the point of being ludicrous. Neither end point is what you want.
And pardon me, but bringing a potential problem up to someone you want to be with is not anything to be leery of. You should be comfortable enough to say "Look. My emotional needs are suffering because of this...that...oh, and here..". He may be completely unaware of its effect on you personally. And for you to go on with needless emotional "blearrrrgh" is doing you a disservice. And him one.
Yes, bring it up to him, please DO in fact.

Alright, thank you! I appreciate the straight-forward response. I always have to build up so much courage to confront someone, regardless of how comfortable I am with them. I just have to suck it up, though. Otherwise, like you mentioned, things will just escalate in a downward spiral.click to expand

What is the point of a companion/bf if you feel lonely still? I rather be single than be with someone who makes me feel lonely. Couple of my friends are dating virgo guys, and they all said that their virgo man never pays or if he does, then he pays for the cheaper thing. For example, they go out for dinner and movies. The virgo dude pays for the movies because the dinner is expensive and he wants my firend to take it. lol.
I personally do not like virgos for their constant criticisms. So annoying. Does he criticize you a lot? Anyway, if he's going to treat you like an option and not a priority, bounce NOW! Also don't buy love. I don't know if you always pay for everything on dates or most of the time, but if you do, you might as well get a high class escort service dude because at least that guy will do his job and pay attention to you more than this guy does =)
I think girls who always pay for their bfs or most of the time are buying love. You should be with someone who loves you and WANTS to spend time with you. Not spend time with you out of obligation or because he has nothing better to do. Good luck w/ your thing girl!

And lest we forget, love is not always rose petals, dripping waterfalls and soft music piped in overhead so that you glide across a floor enraptured in someones dewy eyes. It takes conscious effort, real work and an honest feeling that this is the person you want to be with.
In short, it ain't perfect. It never was, it never will be. Pain and joy are equal partners and you must go into it with eyes wide open. If you don't, you will fall.

I think everyone has made valid points so far. Of course this is just an advice section though. I know a relationship is always under construction and will never be perfect but without you bringing up your feelings on the matter, how are you supposed to know how the two of you are faring? Definitely talk to him. From the info you provided I personally don't see a positive outlook but I have heard little to none of his side.
A relationship-building activity can be anything that empowers one or the other or both parties through attacking or accomplishing said activity. Let's say you play guitar and he doesn't, but has expressed an interest in learning. Give him lessons. Let's say he's great at video games and you're not. Get on there a few times and take a crack at it. Maybe the both of you suck at dancing, set up appts for couples dance classes. See where I'm going with this?


Posted by venusianbull
LOL It's just life lady. Everyone makes some real lunk-headed and classic mistakes, but that is what it's about. Learning. I'm trying to grease the skids for you, let you fly under the radar a speck. 🙂

You gotta keep in mind a few other things too. With age comes wisdom. Guys use love to gain sex, women use sex to gain love. He's probably still thinking with his junk and I woulda been looking elsewhere for it if I wasn't getting it at that age. You two are young, meant to undergo life's joys and blunders. You don't come out of your relationships going, "Failed another one. What's wrong with me" You look at what you can learn from the experience. You are coming step by step, closer and closer to knowing how your potential husband should treat you. Everything except the looks cuz you're one shallow b@stard if you literally use a looks checklist and are waiting for the one with all the gold stars to line up lol.

Whether male or female, when some part of you hangs to the ground and needs pills or surgery to get back up, then you'll go, "Ahhhhh, I see now!"

When we do hangout, he's very affectionate and tells me he likes me a lot. He tells me he's "addicted" to me and acts that way. Though, the second we are apart, *poof*, addiction gone.I might as well not even have a boyfriend.
It's like we're "performing" this relationship on a schedule; there's no room for spontaneity.
And sometimes he can be quite selfish. I get him little gifts and pay for both of us when we go out, and not once does he ever feel inclined to do the same for me. I LIKE doing those things but not when someone takes the gesture for granted.

I don't know whether I should talk to him yet, or not. I would like to resolve this, but I feel that perhaps I am making a big deal out of nothing. Sometimes I feel I get angry over trivial things, and with some time, I come to a realization that there really was nothing to be upset over. I don't know if this is similar or not. I've never been in a serious relationship before this.click to expand

We've been together for 10 months now and I feel like we're in a relationship slump. Neither of us have yet to exchange "I love you"s, which is kind of a relief, because I don't love him yet.

I don't require rose petals and diamond necklaces and all of those cheesy things, but at the very least, I ask that I be with someone who doesn't make me feel like an obligation.

Seriously, WHERE ARE YOU WOMEN FINDING THESE MEN?

Are you sure you're in a relationship or are you doing the girl thing and calling him your boyfriend when you guys are just friends that hang out occasionally? I'm not trying to belittle you by any means just want to make you see things at a different angle. Sometimes we confuse the attention for more than what it really is. Do you have those evil rose-colored glasses on? How does he introduce you - as his girl or by name? I get the feeling that you are more in the relationship than he is. I mean when a man REALLY wants to be with you, he's going to avidly text, call, suggest places and just overall want to be with you 24/7. Sex included. Unless this is a Virgo thing that I am unaware of....at the end of the day, a man's a man ya know what I'm saying. Just my 2 cents

4. P-Angel, I think it's incredibly presumptuous and self-assured of you to twist my words, misinterpret my situation and act so aggressively when I'm merely asking for advice. It's easy to say I'm victimizing myself when you don't hear his side, that I understand, but I'm not here for sympathy--I'm here for the same great advice (minus the uppity interjectory by individuals such as yourself) that I've been receiving from this site since I began posting in September.

I've never been in a serious relationship before this.

Posted by LibraLove
The fact that the relationship WAS going great isn't conducive of it still being that way. I created this thread because I feel NOW that it isn't going that way.

She's paying for the dates, he's barely communicating and sex only 1 time in 10 months? This is just odd.

Posted by CappyyLuv30
I've never dated a Virgo so this interpretation is simply what I've experienced.
Perhaps, constantly/avidly are poor word choices. What I'm trying to say is that a man gives attention when he wants/loves/desires a woman. Some more, some less but attention nonetheless. From what I gather from her, he seems to be nonchalant about her which causes her to doubt. Why would you want to instill doubt in your girlfriend of almost a year?
I don't think daily contact is a tall order, is it? And sex? C'mon, don't you want to sex up your girl on the daily? That's just human desire, not even astrological.

"My Mercury in Libra will also not allow me to suggest places."
good to know. I just thought it was a hint of indecisiveness.

Posted by CappyyLuv30
I've been told this by men before "I didn't think you'd be attracted to me".... WHY in the world would a woman reciprocating baffle you?! AND if it does, wouldn't you want to do whatever it takes to not lose the person? Guess this is where the prude part comes in. *scratching head"

Posted by CappyyLuv30
That's why I'm saying WHY would that baffle you....that someone likes you back....that's a good thing, isn't it? That's what I meant in the original post that's quoted up there. Wouldn't a woman reciprocating be good instead of baffling? And wouldn't you want to embrace that and not lose it? Guess that's what I'm trying to understand.

I seriously have a hard time with stupid people ... you are the one who said you don't love him .. no twisting.
It's not my problem you can't the truth.

But I'm not confused in the sense that what he does is baffling to me, I'm confused about what I, myself, should do.
We've been together for 10 months now and I feel like we're in a relationship slump. Neither of us have yet to exchange "I love you"s, which is kind of a relief, because I don't love him yet. We also seem to have become so mundane.
Things aren't bad, but they aren't good either. They just simply...are. Sometimes in our relationship, I feel taken for granted. Everything feels like it is orchestrated on his time, not mine. He responds to my texts when he wants to, or simply doesn't respond--even when I ask a question; something that he would never leave open-ended previously. When *I* have suggestions for dates or hangouts, he says "maybe", which in reality is just a passive-aggressive "no." When we do hangout, he's very affectionate and tells me he likes me a lot. He tells me he's "addicted" to me and acts that way. Though, the second we are apart, *poof*, addiction gone.I might as well not even have a boyfriend.
Lately, I feel like I've been treated like an afterthought. Somehow, he is intuitive about when I feel this way, because he apologizes, but things just don't feel right. I still like him so much, but some of this relationship is beginning to feel rehearsed and contrived. It's like we're "performing" this relationship on a schedule; there's no room for spontaneity.
I don't require rose petals and diamond necklaces and all of those cheesy things, but at the very least, I ask that I be with someone who doesn't make me feel like an obligation. And sometimes he can be quite selfish. I get him little gifts and pay for both of us when we go out, and not once does he ever feel inclined to do the same for me. I LIKE doing those things but not when someone takes the gesture for granted.
I used to always be the first to text him, yet as of late, haven't felt inclined to talk to him much, so he's been texting me first. It's a trivial thing to notice, yes, but it gives me some hope that he IS still interested.
I just don't know if we should break-up, or if I should give us more time to see if things change.
