I’m 23 and just started going out with my boyfriend (27) in February. He is also my first boyfriend. In the first three, maybe four months I gave him 3 notes and a letter expressing my emotions because I get emotional when I talk about my feelings. Then in July I got him an expensive gift and he had a very negative reaction he almost looked disappointed even though I knew he really wanted the gift. I tried giving him a note I had written for him. Very short. On a sticky note. And he told me to just “keep it for myself”. Later on before our 6 month anniversary he texted me saying that he seemed like everything was too much and too fast. So I backed off and we had agreed to have a date for our six months. Well he got me gifts and I didn’t. I ended up getting him a smoking set for drinks and a box of chocolates. A month later I text him and tell him that I don’t feel love from him. He had stopped saying I love you and he says he just doesn’t really like saying he he likes to show it. So I said okay. His birthday was last week and mine was the week before his. He got me two seats of earrings with matching necklace. I got him an authentic jersey from his favorite hockey player, led lights for his car, a little box that says “kisses for when I’m not around” with chocolate kisses inside, a stuffed animal (an otter because of the pun that he is otterly amazing), and two gift cards in handmade envelopes. One reads open when you need a pick me up with a Starbucks gift card and another one that says open when your having a bad day and wish life was a piece of cake with a gift card to Cheesecake Factory. I made another one that says open when you feel like the world is against you with a letter inside. When I gave him his present he immediately started to say that it was too much. That I was trying too hard and told me to return the jersey. And that “it was a lot of writing”. Since then I’ve been feeling like I’m being taken for granted. I know it’s probably my fault for trying too hard but I just wish I felt more appreciated. I don’t know what to do about this
