But recently it seems like he's ashamed to take me out anywhere, or even show me affection in front of family.I've told him that a lil kiss on the lips when we're with his or my parents would mean alot to me but he still hasnt. Im always tellin him of things i would love him to do for me. I know he loves me because he's really pasionate about it when he says 'i love you' to me. But sometimes its sounds like he doesnt mean it.Is he ashamed to take me out in public or just simply scared that someone else might come along?Please helpWorried and scared I'll lose him Reply to this Question Share |

Some people love PDA, some people not so much. He may just be a fella who likes to keep his intimacy private and there's nothing wrong with that. I personally don't kiss in front of my parents and I've been with my gentleman for 3 years! It's just weird, I still feel like "ewwww" when my parents lock lips, so what makes me think they want to see me smooching on my sweet thang?
He's introduced you to his family! He clearly isn't ashamed of you if you've met his fam.
I wouldn't stress it, darlin'.

To be honest, I don't think many guys would be comfortable kissing their girlfriend in front of their parents, and much less her parents. My boyfriend never does either, and i'm fine with that, it would be pretty awkward for us and definately our parents. Theres a time and a place, you know? It doesn't mean he loves you any less :)good luckxxxxxxxxxxxx

You're more likely to lose him if you keep asking him to show you affection in front of his friends and family before he's ready. I don't think he's embarrassed with you at all, he just doesn't like to show his affection openly. Just be patient with him, you've not been with him that long and if things progress and the love deepens then people will know, just by the way he looks at you that you're both crazy about each other! PATIENCE!
