My girlfriend never compliments me and I always have to make the first move. Is this normal?

[Anonymous]

My girlfriend and I have been together 10 months. Since we've been dating,

I told her I loved her first.
99.9% of the time if we kiss it's because I've leaned in to do it first.
When we slept together I had to lead us into it.
She rarely compliments me when I compliment her all the time.
Doesn't like any PDA including handholding.
98% of the time I text her first.
She will very often just not reply to my texts for 30+ minutes when we're right in the middle of a convo. She says she didn't get the notification.

It's not like I can say, hey, compliment me more or text me first. And she's REALLY shy. But still, I don't know what to do?

compliments is a word that was almost entirely created for the service of women. Just as their is no ceiling to a man's lust for vagina, there is also no ceiling to a woman's narcissism. There's only a set amount of compliments that can be floated around per day, and you better get use to her taking 95% of them. As a guy, you just have to get to use to complimenting yourself. That's why many guys turn into arrogant mongoloids

Yes you can say that! You can tell her that you feel unwanted or discouraged or however you feel. This is your girlfriend
