Has anyone ever dated a guy who just isn’t quite the affectionate or passionate thing? Did it drive you crazy like it does me? How do you handle it?

I want a guy who hugs me from behind randomly, and kisses my forehead just because. Who holds my hand. Buys my favorite chocolate without being asked. Pours some wine and says let’s watch a movie together. Is that asking too much?

I’m dating a guy who isn’t like that. We kiss to say goodbye in the morning when we leave for work. He only gets affectionate if I initiate it or if he wants to have sex. I have to ask him if he even loves me because it’s like he doesn’t. He’s tried recently to do things out the normal for like Mother’s Day or my birthday. But regularly it’s just ntn. I’m so frustrated. Because we are opposites I like to feel special and loved no matter how simple it is, it doesn’t have to be materialistic and he’s just not that person. That much I get that it’s just not him but just how I can compromise with him he should try to do the same. Or should we just go our separate ways because how will I marry a man who can’t make me feel loved.

How can I get him to open up more emotionally if he does love me like he says?
