Search Results: giving my boyfriend space

So I'm 17, and pretty much all of my friends and myself have managed to get boyfriends at the same time. And so we do that "girly" thing where we sit around and talk about our boyfriends, show screen shots of cute things they said in text, and what not.

Now my friends are all about that stuff. They LOVE when their boyfriends write paragraphs about them, or get them flowers or whatever else.

I on the other hand, do NOT. It makes me uncomfortable honestly. And I'm also not a romantic myself, so honestly I could care less if my boyfriend sends me a paragraph about why he likes me. I'd just sit there like "lol, cool."

Luckily for me, my boyfriend is also not a romantic. In fact, the other day he actually APOLOGIZED to me for not being romantic enough, and I was actually confused because that's something that I like about him.

And then while my friends are hanging all over their boyfriends, sitting on their laps, and giving exsessive kisses, me and my boyfriend will hug each other in greeting and SOMETIMES we'll give each other a little peck or something, but then after that we're both kind of like "alright, now get off I need my space." We don't say that, but it's sort of a silent agreement.

And it works for us though, we've been dating several months and not had a single argument, which I know isn't a lot, but it's something.

However the reason I ask is because APPARENTLY if you didn't know we were dating, then you just wouldn't know. And like, my boyfriend is fairly attractive, so I've seen girls just walk up to him right in front of me and think we're just friends and start flirting with him, and then depending on my mood I'll either say nothing about it and let him handle himself, or I'll make a big joke of the whole situation and tell the girl all about how he was just commenting on her butt. (he never does, but we both have a good laugh about stuff like that later).

And then there's my friends who also make comments, and they always seem to hint that my boyfriend might not really care about me because of how we act around each other, and I've even been accussed of using him because he does come from a fairly wealthy family.

ANYWAY, DOES anyone else just get extremely uncomfortable when it comes to romantic things?
