I accept tough love. Does he really cares about me? if so, how can I help him to open up to me? His family is very conservative, and my boyfriend gets embarrassed bout everything all the time.

Some people just can't be affectionate in front of other people. It's just the way they are - or, if it isn't, they just need time. Either way, sounds like you have a good catch. Appreciate the good in him instead of looking for something to complain about.
