I've been dealing with a similar problem. What you need to remember, as one of the other women that replied to this thread is to avoid coming across needy. I know that you aren't needy in the relationship, just like I'm not needy. In fact I'm sure sometimes you'd like a little space but when he actually iniates getting together you get so excited and then go ahead and see him and then kick yourself later because just when you were starting to feel independant away from him all those feelings resurface. Yeah?

Anyway, my biggest advice you to would be to set limits for yourself as far as how often you see him, how often you sleep over, etc. I've done that and it really helped. Write it down and stick to it. No text messaging him randomly during the day. Men are creatures of challenge, so make yourself a challenge! He's naturally going to appreciate you way more when he has to work to get you. Once that starts happening (he calls and plans dates or texts in the middle of the day telling you you're beautiful) then you'll really know he cares about you and only you...which is what your initial issue has been right? You have to be the one to back off and make him work for you...otherwise you'll never know if he cares about you enough to give you the attention that you really want and need. I learned that just how men need to give affection (cuddling, cheesy cards, roses) to satisfy and reinforce their feelings toward women, women need to give men the space to earn their partners affection. It's two way. Give him space. You'll be doing yourself and he a favor. Chances are he knows how you feel...so chill out and let him come to you.

Sounds harsh. But its totally tried and true. He'll be a completely different man if you do this. I promise. If he doesn't change then he's just a loser and that's your red flag to jump ship!

Good luck!!
