I’d simply not text him in the morning and see what happens. Do you also initiate all dates or just texts? Stop initiating. You’d usually get your answer by stop doing it. Is he going to step up or is it going to fizzle?

In my experience (personal and other people’s) if you have to ask a man to pay you more attention, it’s a sign of a trouble. Sure people can change and make a better effort. Like if you have to ask him to stop leaving dirty dishes in the sink, it’s a fine request and hopefully he’ll wash the dishes better. But if you want more attention, it’s more fundamental. Usually if he wanted, he would. And if he doesn’t it’s typically because he doesn’t want to. I think you deserve a man with whom you are comfortable and content, not depressed and anxious.

Of course it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t talk to him about it. You could. After 6 months you should be free to talk about whatever you want and it doesn’t matter if it’s the phone or in person. Are you not 100% comfortable with him?

I think it’s concerning that you question if you should bring something up. You should be free to bring anything up

Where do you think this relationship is going?
