I quite like it, but when we're at school and he's with his mates he doesn't hug me or want to kiss me or anything else.Why is is this? And how can I change it if I can? Reply to this Question

 It's simple really, you can't change him, only time will when he has grown up which probably applies to 'anonymous' below. Boys don't like to show affection in public because it goes against their strong, macho image. They like other boys to think of them as tough and independent. However, there is good news. They often do grow up! When they become more mature, they tend to shift their priorities around a bit and if they care and love someone, they aren't afraid of displaying this in public. They usually still have plenty of time for their mates but want a loving relationship also. Public displays of affection don't happen with every relationship but loving couples do tend to show the world that they are together.So, don't worry. You are still young and so is he. Just concentrate on having fun together and enjoying the times when he is affectionate with you. Have fun.

hiBoys don't like to show they are soft! Just enjoy the time you have together and don't push him to be more touchy feely in public or you could push him away.Take care
