My male friend said to me that I have no emotional content.
But I do care for him and love his friendship.
Men: How do I SHOW him that I have emotional content?

Maybe you don't show him enough concern when he confides to you about a problem he may have, or perhapes if he talking about someone elses misfortune you don't act although it bothers you. Try listening more and really getting involved with conversations where he may be talking about a problem. Lastly try joking around with him more, leaving him sweet things or been extra nice to him, this may allow him to see you do care, you do have emotion and you do appreciate him.

I view your question in a different manner. It seems the guy just doesn't want to be a friend but more than a friend. You know what i mean ---- He might be seeing good things and emotional feeling not just as a friend but more than that. I see from this guy that he wants you to be your friend and at the same time as your boyfriend. He might be thinking that all his actions as a friend is more than what he thinks. Despite of this, you cannot connect the feeling he has in heart. Moreso, you have been together and all personal moments are shared between the two of you. Better check out his feelings to know what he mean.
Good luck! Thanks for asking. Have a great day.

YOU don't move on with this man...He';s already trying to change you...
When a man tries to change you right at the beginning of the relationship...you know 2 things..ONE he does not accept you as you are...TWO he is a major "CONTROLLER"
RUN!!!! in the opposite direction away from this man and date men who like you "JUST the way you are"
Dr Phil has a great book called "Love Smart" buy it, or go to the library and read it cover to cover..
The man you describe here in one of the TOXIC men you avoid!!!!

What this probably means is that your way of expressing emotion is different from his way of understanding emotional expression. My wife and I dealt with that early in our relationship. We are from slightly different cultures, and her way of expressing her emotion seemed over-the-top to me, while she thought I was always calm and unemotional. As you get to know people, you get to know how they express themselves.

"Be" yourself, "Love" yourself, "Accept" yourself...
All else comes after!
Peace and Blessings........
