I had to do that for my ex. Literally stopped us from getting jumped once - I did. All short small woman of me, and this tall boy didn't even know he'd been in danger until after I had pulled us into the nearest coffee shop.

Hopefully your boyfriend just assumes you enjoy taking the lead outside the relationship, and he isn't like my ex - a spineless coward lacking in awareness (both of himself and his surroundings).

He's a pussy, that's all. He likes to stand up to you, but not for you.

Lack of confidence, probably. Confidence can be an acquired skill, just takes time.
