He doesn't kiss me in public, he doesn't put his arm around my shoulders... It's like he's scared of me around other people! So I told him he needs to be a better boyfriend. Get this. The first time I tell him to do something, he gives me crap about it! He didn't talk to me for a day and a half! We still email and talk at school, and I thought the fight was over. Then he sent me an email that said what I said still hirts him! He told me he was still depressed, he just wasn't showing it. All my friends say I'm too good for him, so they're no help. I love him and I don't want to break up with him! PLEASE HELP ME!!!

 returningthefavor said it so well, in fact I'm not sure there's much I can add to that so I hope you take his advice! Did you actually say outright that he needs to be a better bf? If you did his pride is probably hurt and you'll quickly learn that when this happens, men can sulk for a very long time lol. Massage his ego a little and follow the advice of telling him that you just want to show off the fact that he's your bf. I'm sure you'll be back on track in no time :)

Oh to be young again! I remember those days! Trust me you have nothing to worry about! I was once a shy young boy who was afraid of showing my affection for the gal i love in public! He will grow out of it. Just give him time. We think our buddies are going to make fun of us for PDA. (public display of affection, thats what they called it in my day) Im sure the woman i am dating now wishes that i would go back to the timid boy of my youth. My suggestion would be to bite the bullet so to speak on this,tell him you are sorry and didnt mean to hurt his feelings. Tell him you are just really proud to be his gf and you love showing people that you have such a wonderful man. This will definitely help and he will come around in time! I promise!
