And when I say all the time, I mean, at least 5 times a day.I'm a sucker for romantic things and everything, but this has grown to be too much. I mean, I'm not as expressive as he is, and I don't know how to respond or how to react to any of his cheesy lines, especially when he repeats them so much.I get at least 5 txts a day where he is telling me how I've got the most beautiful eyes in the world, and how he's dying to take me in his arms, and how much he loves me, and how much he wants to have me in his life, and how much I'm his "everything". He's already declared me as the love of his life, and I'm actually his first girlfriend and we've been dating for four months. At first, I used to find his way of letting me know he cares about me really sweet, but now it's becoming sort of a turn off. I'm not insensitive or cold or anything, I just feel uncomfortable when cheesiness is over the top.I mean, we talk on the phone, and he is constantly telling me how beautiful I am, and likes to call me his "princess". I've told him that I'd prefer it if he called me by my name instead, but he keeps forgetting it and ends up calling me "princess" all the same.He has sent me a bunch of flowers in the longrun, which I really appreaciate and like to be honest, and he feels like he needs to shower me with gifts all the time. Another thing he does is that he keeps writing lyrics of love songs and txting them to me. That happens about twice a day.Now, don't get me wrong, I don't want to break up with him, since I really care about him, but I just want to find a way to kindly ask him if he could slow down a little, and let him know that he doesn't have to send me so many txts or tell me all things all the time to proove that he loves me. I don't want to hurt him or anything, so could you please help me?

 Poor man, if he keeps acting like this, eventually you will naturally loose interest and respect for him and eventually dump him, while he would be worndering what on earth he did wrong. He is just a little inexperience, you can't do anything about it. Cheers!

This is what a lot of nice guys do, little realizing that it can be overbearing. Your his first girlfriend, and he is just trying so hard to be a nice guy. With the texts, you don't need to necessarily reply to them. Explain to him that you adore him, but that he doesn't need to try so hard because you like him as he is. He may or may not understand. Hopefully he will.
