    My boyfriend does not have a romantic bone in his body. I, on the other hand, am a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic. I enjoy being spontaneous and unpredictable when it comes to my relationships because not only is it more fun but it keeps your relationship burning in my opinion. Is it shallow to say I was a tad disappointed with this past Valentines Day? Every occasion no matter which, Christmas, Birthday you name it, my boyfriend of 2 years will go into the smoke shop/gas station on the day of, to buy his cigarettes and grab one of the plastic roses near the register and boom. Universal ‘I love you’ card and its a ‘surprise’. Its the thought that counts right? Our sex life is the same as well. Ill be laying down on my side and he will come behind me and pull my pants down as well as his, with little to no foreplay, and push his penis against my vagina until his pre-cum (not my arousal) lubricates the opening enough for him to push his way in and thats how he initiates sex, EVERYTIME. Im the exact opposite, Ill plan an occasion for weeks so he can know how important he is to me. Ive tried telling him how i feel, but he just blows me off. I cant help but feel that this is my fault. Im a really easygoing girl, I love reading, hiking and playing video games in my free time, so I feel as though maybe he forgets that I’m a girl at times? I don’t care about flashy gifts and expensive dinners, but I would like to be thought about for longer than the 30 seconds it takes to buy a pack of ciggs. I love him, how can I look past this or convey myself to him in a way that he will listen?
    Sincerely, Trying.

    Opposites may attract, but it’s more likely that two people with more in common have an easier go of it in the long run. 😕 You’ve chosen someone who is your opposite, and now you want him to do things more your way. 😕 The question is, why now? It sounds, from your post, that none of this behavior is new. But at the two year mark, you’re tired of it.

    I’m going to venture out on a limb here and tell you that it’s not the behavior that you’re sick of — it’s that at two years, the relationship hasn’t moved forward in the way you want it to, and you’re finding something else to complain about instead. 😕 Your job is to decide what you want in a relationship and then go for it. If this guy isn’t Mr. Right, then don’t waste your time. Instead of trying to change someone and make him into an entirely different person than he is (which will never work), focus on changing you and your own behavior.

    If you want to be the girlfriend that gets the beautiful fresh roses and is taken out for dinner and lavished with attention — then be that person! You can’t attract that kind of man by spending time with someone who bringing you gas station, plastic flowers regularly. Your job is in front of you. 😉
