Why doesn’t he take me on dates?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend was supposed to take me on a date last week but he didn’t, I didn’t act mad I said it was okay we can go some other time, we’ve never been on a date he says he’ll take me this week, we've been together for a year now I stressed to him multiple times that I don’t want to be in the house laying in bed, not to toot my own horn but I know I’m a very attractive looking girl, I don’t understand it. we’re young and I know he cares about me but I feel like he doesn’t appreciate me.

The problem is much deeper than him just not wanting to take you on an occasional date. He may have psychological problems or other issues related to health or perhaps family or work.

I would recommend that you prepare a list of issues that you see within your relation and to each issue, you bring up a solution to the problem. Ask your boyfriend to do a similar list, independent from yours. Thereafter, you sit together and go over both lists trying to find a consensus that is acceptable to both parties. The important thing is not to be angry or accusing because that would not only falsify the outcome but make things only worse. Good luck.

The essence of every good and lasting relation lies in communication.

Maybe he gets embarrassed with you in public?

We’ve never been out together in public

[SamFromFL]

Never? That’s a red flag

[Asker]

Never

Guys want a cute girl on their arm in public. Does he compliment you?

[Asker]

He compliments me all the time

[SamFromFL]

Then why not take you out?

[Asker]

I don't know I don’t understand

[SamFromFL]

If he doesn’t take you outside it means he doesn’t find you attractive to show you off

[Asker]

Really? But I am attractive

[SamFromFL]

Really. I mean maybe people say you are to protect your feelings

[Asker]

Lol haha noo it’s true I am very attractive, I know that because I get a lot of attention everywhere I go

[SamFromFL]

Don’t know what to tell you then. Your boyfriend doesn’t think so else he would take you out

[Avicenna]

You need to ask him about that

[Iron_Man]
