How do you like to be shown you’re seen/ wanted? What situations made you express feelings verbally?
Short version of a long story: I’m dating a man who is doing the positive things. I’ve been meeting some of his friends and being involved in more of his weekly routine. But in all the months we’ve been dating, I’ve noticed he’s not quite as expressive as I am with words.
I’m an ‘actions and words’ woman. I plan things with care, I give compliments, say what I like/ love that he does. I’ve recently become very very aware of the fact he has never said similar things and I fear it’s going to make me withdraw.
So I guess as well as the question above- what did the person you’re dating do to make you comfortable enough to express feelings verbally?
For more context I have a fearful/anxious avoidant attachment style. I’m quite self aware so I’m actively trying to not self sabotage here.
Ty for any advice 🙂
