(25-29) How can you open up to someone emotionally?
He’s so persistent about not opening up. He texts me everyday but mainly about daily convos.
Is it ok to continue with my new relationship strategy if it's working fine right now?

Xper 4 Age: 24 When I say something really loving to my boyfriend, he'll respond "you are a sweetheart." It feels like he's brushing me off... Is that true? Or no?
