I have been feeling somewhat left out of my relationship if that makes sense. My boyfriend is a super shy 20 year old and I’m 19 female. We have been dating for a little over 3 years. I don’t think my boyfriend knows that I feel loved by physical affection. I’m a super lovey dovey person and love public affection like holding hands and hugging. He on the other hand is not like that at all. He likes to keep our relationship to ourselves, which I totally respect. We both feel loved differently. Again, I love physical affection and he feels most loved when I help him with work, or go boating, etc. how do I tell him that I need more physical attention without sounding needy/ or seeming like I’m blaming him?
TL;DR! How to tell boyfriend I need more physical attention!
