How to make him want me first! Serious question :)

Cynthia
Hey!
So I want my boyfriend to make the first move in wanting to have sex. He says that he only waits for me to be aroused first. It's kinda like giving him permission to continue. However, I also want him to start everything first, like for example to touch me, or tell me that he wants to fuck me. Ha ha I know too much info! But I'm serious! I know he's just being respectful and only waits for me to tell him when I'm in the mood. But I also want him to tell me when he's in the mood... Therefore, I'm seeking for advice from you lovely people! Ha ha. What can I go in order for him to actually start the first move? . I've tried talking to him but he's so stubborn. What should I do?.. *I hope I explained this correctly* ha ha.
