I've been confused about this for a while. My boyfriend and I have been together for about 5 months. He's a good guy. He loves me. He doesn't ill-treat me. But I am terribly unhappy. We spend a lot of time with each other. We hang out a lot. But I don't feel special. I know I am special. I know I am important to him. But I don't feel cherished. I appreciate him for the things he does do, I appreciate him for being a good boyfriend. But I am not sure if I feel appreciated for being a good girlfriend. Little things (and big things) would make me feel good; romantic gestures. Gentleman-like courtesy (like holding the car door), buying and surprising me with gifts (flowers, etc.), planning a romantic, thoughtful evening out, etc. All that and a couple of other things are contributing factors to why I am not completely happy. I've tried to talk to him about these things, but maybe I am not doing so properly. Maybe a more direct approach? Or is he just not getting it? What should I do?
