It is nice to have your boyfriend tell you that he loves you, but i understand that sometimes it can be too much. sometimes it seems like my boyfriend has nothing else to say so he just says I love you. About the car and the stick shift thing, have you tried telling your boyfriend anything like well try loving me from your own seat? Or maybe tell him, well if you love me like you say you do then you'll alow me to drive safely, and that requires that i don't have any distractions on my hands? Just a thought.
