how do i tell my boyfriend in a nice way or needy that i dont feel as important to him anymore... im trying to act like its okay that we hardly even communicate anymore but im hurting because i want a little more attention from him.. i just want to be put before everyone else once in while is that to much to ask for.. i just need to indicate that im not happy with how things are before i end it. and i need to do it nicely so it wont turn into a huge fight then push him further away.

Be positive. Tell your boyfriend that you think that the quality of the relationship is going down a bit since you two met and that you need to feel special with him and that you also want to make him feel special as well. Be honest with each other. Your dating. BE happy that you are not married with three kids, a mortgage, a house bills, etc. If you agree that you are happy and want to move forward set aside date time or special times for this to happen, if not move and meet someone that makes you feel special and valued and vice versa!

Open, mature and calm communication is usually the best way. He is your boyfriend so you should know when would be the best time to approach him. A small test usually works as well, such as not being the one to call first, to see if he will actually make an effort.

If you do initiate a conversation and he gets defensive, and it eventually gets blown out of proportion, then it is a good sign as any that the relationship will not work. Similarly, I do not know what has him preoccupied nor do I know the influences in his life so I can not give you a clear and direct answer for the problem. Good luck.
