I'm tired of my boyfriend.

I've been seeing my boyfriend for almost a year now and I feel incredibly bored with him. he's generally kind to me and he's made big sacrifices to make me happy-- but whenever we're together or I try to text him or call him he won't just talk to me. I've talked to him about it because it feels awful to constantly be brushed off and ignored, but his reasoning was that he "just doesn't know what to say" or he blames it on his homeschooled childhood. but I know he can talk -- I've seen how he has communicated with girls he likes in the past and he puts a Ton of effort in, but with me he clearly doesn't care enough to even try. and sitting in silence while watching tv or having sex isn't all that I want a relationship to be; I'm not here just to be a romantic partner,I want to be his friend and get to know him as well as I can and make him laugh.

it just doesn't feel like he's interested in me anymore. when I go to his house, he almost always wants to play video games while I just sit there. when we're at my house, he won't get off his phone. there have been times when I'm crying on the floor and he just sits there playing games. but on the other hand, he also will sit with me and tell me he loves me on different occasions -- yet even as I'm writing this I just realized he only does that to cheer me up and then immediately tries to get handsy.

his actions don't match up with his words and it's starting to make me feel horrible and anxious. I care about him a lot, and I don't think it's reciprocated -- and even if it is, it's not to the same degree. I communicate my problems to him all the time, and there's either no change or very little change in his behavior. I want to go out and have fun with him and have new experiences -- I want to be in love with him. but he just wants to sit at home and do nothing except fuck around and then go about our separate ways. I'm tired of it and he bores me. should I end it or is there anything else I can do to salvage the relationship?
