Relationships

My boyfriend is so reserved. What should I do? Advice?

my boyfriend and I have been dating for three months now, we’ve known each other for a year as good friends then started dating. I noticed something about him that hasn’t changed since the beginning... he’s a very quiet and reserved guy. We often have these periods of silence which, depending on my level of anxiety, either makes me feel anxious or I’m comfortable with the silence. It’s been like this, usually I’m the one going off about something and he will just listen. Sometimes he will get really engaged in the conversation and his face lights up and smiles. ...

i really wanted to connect him on a deeper level. And check on our relationship with a talk but when I asked like “how are you feeling? How do you feel about us?” He smiled and simply said, “I feel fine. Just chilling.” Then he asked me how I’m feeling but it was like in a playful manner. So that deep talk didn’t happen lol. Recently he will call me often (which I appreciate!) but he will go silent just like he does when we’re together in person. I already feel awkward on the phone so it’s like double the awkwardness lol. It’s like he doesn’t try to find stuff to talk about I don't know. I love him and he shows his love, respect and appreciation for me by doing small things like paying for our dates, opening doors for me, calling and texting, physical touching, making sure I’m taken care of. He’s shown me that he’s serious about us and that he loves me. I don't know what this thing that I feel that we’re lacking but I wish we could have a emotional connection...
