My bf (of 2 months) and I keep fighting about this. He claims I am not affectionate enough. I claim that I show my affection by most of my actions – why would i spend time with you unless I like you? He says it’s not enough. And yes I DO say/do things for him but it’s not enough or often enough.

It is also mostly a cultural thing – I’m Asian, raised & living in Asia. Tried explaining it to him but he still expects me to have random displays of affection – a card, a gift, “love words” out of nowhere from time to time.

I’m a little tired of it but will try.

Not worth it!

My boyfriend actually accused me of trying to be affectionate yesterday, and he said I should keep it up :-D

my poor boyfriend  — 11 months ago

my boyfriend is so affectionate and warm and sweet to me and I am so distant sometimes! I just feel too sappy when I try to be affectionate. It doesn’t bother him because he knows how I am, but I feel bad sometimes.

I need to loosen up a bit more  — 1 year ago

I feel very awkward when people hug me. I am not a tactile person. I feel like a fish out of water when I try and hug or touch other people. I am concerned that when i am with my boyfriend he can sense that and will feel that perhaps I don’t love him as much as I say I do. Afterall touching, hugging and hand-holding are essential signs to reassure that you care and are more immediate and far more powerful than words.

I think I will just try playing with people’s hands to begin with or doing their hair and maybe that will help me maintain physical contact with other people and be comfortable with it.
