I have been a bit upset and shitty with my boyfriend lately because we have been together for 8 months and I feel like while our relationship is suppose to progress his effort is decreasing. He doesn't tell me he loves me as much anymore unless I say it first, he doesn't call me as much, we have been out once since our first date 8 months ago and everytime I bring up that it hurts that he doesn't seem to be putting in the effort to express how he feels about me and actually go put of his way to put that little bit more effort into make me feel like I'm worth it to him. I know I'm stubborn and potentially problematic sometimes but I put a lot of my heart and effort into my relationship, organising to surprise him, spending a week to make a collage of us, buying him gifts, organising dinner nights for special occasions, writing him sentimental cards, buying him chocolates spontaneously and just letting him know that I love him and that I just want to feel it reciprocated rather than me feeling like I care more. I want to make new experiences with him because after a while it does cause boredom and while I enjoy his company I want to make new memories with him outside of lounging in each other's houses. He is nearly 20, has a car and a good job. I've offered to put the effort in as well, I'm willing to put in money and organise one of even 2 date nights we have a month but he says he is trying by coming to see me and buying me gifts and that I can't expect him to change because that's not him and the type of stuff he does. I don't want him to change but id really appreciate if he would try to meet me in the middle. What do i do?
