how do i get my boyfriend to open up (be more emotionally available)?

Answer 1

First, let him know the problem. If he is the type who doesn't talk much, how you pose questions is important. For example, instead of asking him, "Do you agree?", ask him, "How would you handle this situation?" This type of question should force him to answer with more than just a 'yes' or 'no'.
It worked for me! Good luck!

Answer 2

You should talk to the guy. If there is a lack of communication, the relationship is doomed to die, in the long run..It's the most important thing in a relationship. Tell him how you feel, and let him know that you want the relationship to last.

Answer 3

A few drinks usually does the trick :)

Or make a game out of it, like strip poker. If you lose, you remove an article of clothing (Hey, men are visual). If he loses, he must strip away a wall and reveal something of personal importance to himself. If his answer isn't believeable, you put on more sweaters and socks...

Answer 4

its hard for some men to open up for what ever reasons. i have been with my man for 11 yrs. he has just started to be more open. only because i sressed the point that communication is the key to any relationship. and after several almost breakoffs he finally sees the light

Answer 5

Its a hard thing to do.. start from asking quetions like - how was ur day ? what did u feel like this morning ? whats the best feeling u get? what makes u sad? all these kinda stuff.. ask often so he'll get used 2 it and might like it and he will maybe ask u back...

Answer 6

Men never open up about their feeling, so dont pester him to, just let him know you are there IF he needs to talk and leave it at that!If you pester him you will most likely push him away!

Answer 7

if u r sure he is truly involved with u.then tell him about ur needs(good boys sometimes not aware).encourage him......
show ur affection to him.............

Answer 8

talk to him about your needs and want .... maybe he will .. maybe he won't
