Does he care at all?

So my boyfriend and I have been dating for 3 months. I know that's not a long time, but it's long for me. I'm not very good in the relationship department, so I, not sure how to handle this. We aren't very lovey-dovey like some of my friends, and no I'm not trying to compare him to them at all. But I just want to know how to figure out if he really cares about me. We don't hold hands anymore, and any hug or kiss is always initiated by me. I want to talk to him about it, but I'm afraid of what I might hear. I've always been afraid of commitment and getting hurt due to a painful love in the past, but I really care about him. Actually, I think I might love him, and that kind of scares me. We may have only been dating for a few months, but I've liked him for almost a year and a half. Basically, I just don't know how to talk to him about how I feel, or if I should at all. Help?

I think you need to talk to him, I know what you're going through- what you've just described is me and my ex before we broke up (not that I'm saying you guys will!) but I know that feeling of you being the only one to make the effort/ caring any more. Worst thing I did was put off chatting to him for so long, I believe it didn't work out for us as we had communication issues the whole way through our relationship, that went on for so long- they couldn't be fixed. So my advice is definitely to chat sooner than later, that way you have more of a chance to get things back on the happy road. And if it isn't what you want to hear- better now than further on down the line when you know you definitely DO love him. x

So is this one of those topics where I should just text him and be like "we have to talk" or something? Or is it better to do it face to face when it's just us two?
