I just had a lovely weekend with my boyfriend. Granted, much of Saturday was spent with him busy cleaning and building a bunny cage, but it was so sweet of him to take care of all the things I'd mentioned (and more) even though he was only back in town for one night (he's been working out of town). He bought a new hose (the other one was STOLEN wth), cleaned the fridge and shower (yay about both!), built the cage (though it still needs the second level and door), worked on the water heater, worked on the internet, even cleaned out the cat litterbox. Had a nice evening with a movie we'd been meaning to watch together and a lovely Sunday involving groceries, McD's, and laundry, among other more fun things. ^__^
I'm not a big touchy feely person but omg I wanted to die when he left. ;~;
As he was getting ready to go he commented that I did not look happy. xD
NO KIDDING DUDE, NO KIDDING.
He sent me a text today saying I'm the best girlfriend. HE MUST HAVE TELEPATHICALLY KNOWN I WAS CLEANING OUT HIS CATS' LITTERBOX JUST THEN.
And doing his laundry. xD
And I haven't complained about no hot water (though it seriously sucks).
And I paid for our lunch Sunday.

But, yet again I need advice.
I've been dating my boyfriend for a little over a month now. Things have been good, up until a ton of girls have been messaging him. And theres one who hes always trying to hangout with, and from past events, I know she's not the one to "respect" him having a girlfriend.
He knows this.
He's always trying to hangout with other girls and never really wants to be with me anymore. I dont really understand.
I have really strong feelings for him, and he doesnt seem interested with us being a couple. I don't know if I should just ignore it, or what.
You know how when you have a crush on someone and they're really cute, you tend to assume their personality must be equally as great? And you have these fantasies of him respecting you and admiring your talents and wanting to learn more about his hobbies? And he lets you have just the right amount of space but sends you sweet texts exactly when you are feeling unhappy? And you are comfortable talking to him about anything and he doesn't overreact or anything? We all tend to build people up in our heads, and I believe that is part of why we end up disappointed.
I think, in this scenario, he might be realizing he's not as interested in you as he thought. It has nothing to do with you, just that in HIS mind the fantasy you and the real you are not the same. My own brother has been seeing this girl for about 2 weeks and he's already losing interest. He seemed rather unimpressed about it taking her an HOUR to get ready in the morning, and that's without doing much to her hair (she even asked if I had a blowdryer, which I don't). He gets fed up with me taking a while to get ready and my time isn't even close to an hour. For some guys this wouldn't be an issue and they might even like that she makes sure to look so good all the time (and believe me, she is super pretty). But for my brother, this just didn't feel compatible. So it's not that her 'get ready time' is good or bad, just not what my brother anticipated and isn't the right fit for his lifestyle.
I would definitely say something to him, or at least very clearly make more of an effort to spend some time with him (without being clingy). If he is still kind of blowing you off to hang out with other girls, then that suggests he enjoys their company more - and in that case, you shouldn't bother sticking around. You need someone who values your company, even if he doesn't always agree with what you say or understand your interests. Sometimes my boyfriend drives me nuts but in many other ways he is just fantastic. I value being with him even when we're not having a good day.
