Hi everyone. I started seeing this guy about 3 months ago. We are about to talk what we are doing this weekend. However, idk if I want to move thing forward. He is inattentive and not generous and this leaves me wondering if he actually cares about me. I recognize this could be my negative self esteem but if we were continue to see each-other, I would want some changes. (Remembering things I say, occasionally asking me how my day went, texting me something cute, paying for more things) How do I address this without sounding bossy/needy? Thanks in advance. I usually just avoid bringing up what I expect because I am afraid of rejection. And if it’s important, I am almost 25F and he’s 30M.
