Boyfriend Not Reaching Out Too Often

Hello, I am new here. I am in an exclusive long distance relationship for the past 2 months. He lives in another country. We communicate via email, twice a week. We spoke on the phone once. The thing is I've been the one who's reaching out to him. He would only respond to me whenever I email him. He would only call me back if I call him. But he repeatedly tells me how much he misses me and how much he loves me. I will see him in a couple weeks and would like to bring this concern to his attention. I prefer to talk to him in person than to send him email messages because I want him to see the sincerity in my eyes when I tell him this. I am not needy but I would like to ask him to call me or email me out of the blue just to check in emotionally. I am not sure how to communicate this to him so that it would not come off as a nag or a needy person. Is this too much to ask? Please help. Thank you.

Welcome to the board danizgirl,


Of course it is not too much to ask that he contact you on his own without you contacting him first. When you get together tell him that you noticed that he doesn't contact you unless you contact him first and you were wondering about that.

Welcome to the board danizgirl,


My best advice - don't do all the work, wait for him to call, eventually he will.
