Not really sure

I've been dating the same guy for a little over a year now. We have a fairly good relationship and a great friendship. We don't argue very often, and I can trust him with anything, just like he can trust me. I am happier with him than I ever have been with anybody, and I know he feels the same. However, I am a very easily stressed out person, while he is more laid-back, and I tend to over-think things. Recently I've been a bit more sensitive and moody, and sometimes I feel a little bit lonely. I wouldn't call it feeling neglected because he is typically a very good communicator and he makes sure to stay in touch throughout the day. We are both busy people and I understand completely that everybody needs a little bit of time to themselves, and other times it's just not a convenient time to talk. Occasionally, I do feel clingy. Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but just for a little extra information, we also have a bit of trouble with intimacy; mostly on my end. I'm pretty relaxed about our relationship, and I don't push too much or makes huge deal about anything. It's just.. I suppose, to sum it up, it feels a little bit like I'm not really getting all the affection and attention that I need lately. I have no intention of breaking up or splitting. If anybody has any advice out there.. Feel free.

I'm very new to this site (your problem here is the second thing I've read on here) but that sounds like a situation I've been in before, except as the man in the relationship. One of the best things a woman can do for her relationship is be communicative. If you're with a man who your trust at a close friend and who is also laid-back (a good guy), he'll likely respond constructively to any expression of how you feel. Try to understand that guys aren't very good at picking up on moods and hints, while women--whether they're trying to or not--tend to communicate best through hints. He probably does notice that something's off or different but he still needs you to tell him what's up. If he loves you, I'm sure his response will be something like, "How can we fix this?" So my advice is to tell him exactly how you feel, in the least confrontational way possible. Most committed men love the idea that their woman wants to be closer to them. It's actually a confidence booster.

Thanks!! Really appreciate it. Will put that plan into action as soon as possible.
