I am perfectly fine with seeing him once a week, but it just seems he is never "excited" to see me? For example, I'll finally see him after a week & he finds this perfectly normal. He doesn't come & hug me/show affection just says "come look at this!" & shows me what he's worked on. On weekends I'll ask him to come do stuff (hiking, lakes, outdoors) but he never wants to come & always prefers to stay in. He literally only works on his projects, and when I finally see him after a week, again, he's not big on affection & doesn't love me staying over, likes his own space but finds this perfectly normal.
Again, obviously there is a big extrovert-introvert difference here. He is a wonderful guy just thinking it's maybe not the best time for him to be in a relationship? It's hard for me to initiate affection! Is there any way to make a compromise in this situation, or does he need someone as introverted as him?
Don't get me wrong, again, he really is a good guy. I'm just thinking it's not the best match. I wanted this to work, & I've already told him I felt alone, but he said he feels we do plenty. This is def my fault for dragging it out so long... I should've brought it up sooner, or asked to be friends. I think we are drifting apart now & past the point of no return...
Also, this is his first relationship. Any advice much appreciated. Is this just how some guys are? How can I understand my boyfriend better or adjust my standards? Thanks so much! <3
