I'm in a relationship with a guy who doesn't love me. He cares for me and how I feel, but he is not emotionally attached to me. This is my first relationship in 10 years, I am hoping that in time his feelings will change. Am I being unrealistic? What should I do?

Thanks for your replies, at least they give me some hope. To clarify,we've been seeing each other for six months, he started referring to me as his girlfriend four months ago. While he is good to me, and has confessed to caring for me deeply, he is concerned, and so am I, that he doesn't feel connected to me emotionally, at least not the way he should be. He hasn't been in a relationship for a number of years either and was content to be single. I don't know if thats caused some kind of mental block...

rcn agony auntyou're not being unrealistic. love comes in different paces for different people. i'd say wait a little and see if he begins showing more of an emotional attachment

brooke5426 agony auntit depends. how long have you been in the relationship? if you mean that it is a brand new relationship and he is not in love yet then dont worry about it, these things take time. he may fall in love in time.

Or do you mean it is a relationship where he has fallen out of love with you and no longer feels the same as he used to? because i think that would be different. its very difficult to fall back in love with someone.

I know you say its your first relationship in 10 years but how long have you been together?
