I would say that you should try to talk to him more often. Get him involved more in your life.

read the book "he's just not that into you"

there is no asnwer here.
unfortunately he might just be a person who doesnt express themselves... you cant change them-- if you find you need him to be more open about what hes feelings, its time to move on.. you cannot turn a pumpkin into a beautiful carrige..

im sure you are a water sign that needs more affection, and attention (not in a bad way of couse) but someone who can shares things with you and be open in expressing feelings.. and believe me life with someone who cant do those things-- is very unfufilling.

Stop asking him "what he is thinking about." He's probably very irritated by you constantly doing so. This is far too intrusive a question to ask, especially if he is intelligent with a very active mind. He is telling you that he isn't thinking about anything, just to get you off his back. (If you must ask, be more specific in your question: E.g., Are you thinking about...? Are you worried about...?)

It is normal for men to show less emotion than women. Most men experience less emotion; some control their emotions better; some have a very good "poker face." Don't worry about this--this is perfectly normal. It's part of being a man.

I get the sense that you are insecure. And, this lack of feedback from him is making you very uneasy.

For reassurance, look at other indicators in the relationship: How is the sex? Does he kiss you? Is he affectionate? How does he respond when you are affectionate with him? If you tickle him? If you smack him on the butt?

Well why did you fall in love with a person who either doesn't share much of himself with you, or is just an empty vessel to start with?

Advice: don't waste your time trying to explore or change him - expect more for yourself & move on - the guys a dud (for you).

Guys are trained from birth not to express their emotions. Girls aren't.

I don't get it. If he shows no emotion, how did he end up becoming your boyfriend in the first place? Doesn't that involve "having feelings for" someone?
