What do you think?

    I've been together with my boyfriend for a while now, - 2,5 years-
    And I'm quite the romantic kind of girl. I like to give little gifts, write him letters, send him cute emails, you know. I never really expect to get those things back, because I know he's not that romantic.. and I get a lot of love. But lately, I'm feeling a little strange and I'm actually wanting him to do those little things for me too =] I'm not asking much from him -I think- but I'm feeling really.. bitchy in some sort of way because I've never expected him to do that.. and now all of a sudden I do want him to give me little things too..
    Is it normal that I feel this way?

    Is it normal to feel the same way you hope you are making other people feel? most definitely.

    you give him things, and you want something in return. maybe not a gift, but just a recgnition.
    something to remind you how much he cares everytime you look at it.

    i'd definitely say its normal to feel that way.

    I'd say it's definately normal. I mean at times we feel that we want that same love and recognition that we gave to the other person just as a sort of "evidence" that the person cares enough.

    But if I could give some advice here, don't let you expecting things to get in the way of your relationship. Though maybe if you feel strongly about it you should speak to your bf just to let him know what you feel.

    Thanks for the advice both of you =]
    I've talked to him and he actually really wants to give me stuff and do little things like I do, but he really doesn't how to, because he's afraid he won't do it right.. he's just a little insecure about it, because he's never been that way =]

    It's very normal. I use to be that way with my boyfriend, exactly the way you are. But as time passed && I was with him longer I started to expect him to do the same with me. But I talked to him && turns out he's been wanting to do stuff like that for me. The thing is he just didnt know how. He didn't want to make a big deal about it but he didnt want to feel weird either. So we talked about it && I made him feel comfortable with it so now he gets me them little things
