hi all! :)

maybe i'm just sounding silly...but how do i hint at my boyfriend that i need more affection.?

you see he works a lot and ive gotten the vibe that hes not making an effort to see me...we hardly saw eachother last week only monday and friday and today is now monday again and he's like im not sure see its hard with work!...but i guess this w/e im spending it with him because we're going away with our friends...which will be nice, peaceful and hopefully romantic!

if any advise that would be great...maybe im just being melodramatic?

lol its funny. women find this a conundrum, and men say its a no brainer. i think we as women are afraid of being rejected or laughed at or being seen as too needy. but men have mens braind, they dont respond to 'hints' or 'vibes'. you gotta tell him what you feel and ask for what you want. worst case scenario, he cant arrange it. but i think theres a good possibility he doesnt even realise youre feeling lonesome!

Um... just a thought here... you might think about trying to to.. I don't know... talk to him about it straight up?

Is that really so hard?

Door opens, he's home.

HIM: "Hi honey, sorry I'm late again... work is just killing me right now."

YOU: "Hey, babe. Can we talk. It's nothing bad, just some issues that have come up lately."

HIM: "Alright. Lets get it over with."

YOU: "Honey. You know I love you and all... its just, I'm beginning to feel lonely, you at work so much. Is there no way you can cut down hours. I could get a job so we wouldn;'t have to rely on such long hours... you could take some leave..."

HIM: "Lonely? I didn't realise. I've been working my ass off. Well lets look into all that, I'll call in sick tommorrow and we can start out then. In the meantime... lets have sex."

See, plain and simple.

We men are not psychic you know. And we hate to beat around the bush. Just give it to us straight and we'll do our best to keep the peace.
