[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also don't think you're a good fit.

I think you should look into your feelings about how you need words of affirmation. What you're saying is a bit different than what I've read words of affirmation to be. I too am words of affirmation (plus acts of service), but to me that is someone recognizing and thanking me for things that I've done. I mean this kindly, but yours sounds like low self esteem or a coping mechanism. Have you explored that? Adults don't need other people to nonstop verbalize how someone feels about them- and it's only been 8 months.

Things you said: 
-share his feelings about me
-He has said he adores me and cares about me after I've brought it up
-who can't or won't say how they feel about me

OP: yes, good points and that's why I'm wondering if the problem is with me. I do want him to share his feelings about me, otherwise I feel kind of empty and like our relationship is superficial. I want there to be emotional intimacy, and I'm not sure if the depth of feelings is there. I realize it's been 8 months, but I feel like we've spent a lot of time together. I would like to hear that he cares about me and I mean something to him once a week- is that realistic?[/quote]
