Basically, I've been kinda peeved about how he doesn't really express affection much (in a way that I'd like.) I'm sorta one of those girls who is emotionally needy, but I try to go easy 'im there are other issues that contribute to that than just him. That being said, however, I still need affection in a romantic relationship. It doesn't even have to be over the top, just more than he's giving at the moment (which is very little.) Also, by 'affection' i mean both physical and verbal.He's kinda stoic, so i dun really see him complying too much with this (mind you, I haven't asked yet) and there's still some other [substantial] stuff in the way that we've been trying to move past for a while...I'm getting a little weary from both the affection issue and waiting.Should I address this or call it quits?

Ask him what is holding him back from showing a little affection. Try to take things slow at first, don't try to change him but try to better him. Then you should sit and think about how you are a proching him. Some guys like a woman to make to first move. I know that it gets trying but evenully he will see the big picture, but if don't get it by then do what you think is best for you. Its not all about what he thinks all the time.
