Why can't I show him how much I care?

Question - (7 November 2007) 1 Answers - (Newest, 8 February 2008)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

For some reason I have trouble showing my affection to my boyfriend. (Of 6 months) When I'm with him I feel awkward or unsure what to do about affection. But afterward I regret not having done something to show how I feel.

When I'm alone I think of all the things I should be doing with him or would want to. But when I'm with him it cools off and I feel unsure of the situation. He's told me many times that he'll show how much he loves me no matter what time, or where. And I feel the same way. But when it comes to doing it, somethign just holds me back.

It's really an unexplainable feeling. It's like I go on auto-pilot and my mouth is saying on it’s own ‘I should go.’ or ‘See you’ and I walk away before anything can happen. The moment I do turn away I seem to wake up from this "trance" and want to go back to him and have him hug me and kiss me forever but the moment is over so i leave.

I really think this is beginning to affect him. He's really affectionate towards me, but lately seems unsure if I'll like what he does. Because I'm no reciprocating as much. Evn though I really want to.

What’s going on here? Why is this happening to me? Any suggestions of how I can overcome this?

A female reader, anonymous, writes (8 February 2008):

Sounds like you have a mental block of some kind. Mayby you are subconsciously trying to back off in order that you do not get hurt. Why not try and send him flirty emails and texts or write him a letter with a cute picture attached? Just let him know that you love him whilst you are working out your issues. Alternativly getting drunk always puts me in the mood to be a bit more amourous!
