Wondering whether it is me or the college
So I've been with my boyfriend a few months now and our relationship has been great; we got talking over Summer. Since us starting college last week there's been something on the back of my mind.
He has told me college is taking a bit of getting used to for him (me on the other hand has got used to it and loved it straight away).
Although, he never acts like we're together in college. It's all very 'friendy'. It just bugs me how there's not the slightest hug or kiss when we go off to different lessons or even at the end of the day before we leave each other; which I'd love him to do and just acknowledges the fact I'm his girlfriend.
He may just be being overly polite; he's so respectful and at the start of our relationship I always had to initiate everything so he knew it was 'okay'. It just feels a bit blunt and it's almost like he's acting shy around everything. It's easy for me to take that as a lack of interest in us.
I don't mind either way because it's how much we love each other that counts; just I've never had a lad who wouldn't treat it as 'normal' to hug/kiss their girlfriends. I want to ask him, but I'm not sure how to go about it, for all I know it might not have even occurred to him! In which case I'd feel daft aha!
I may well be over thinking this but any opinions on guys and personality changes in college would be helpful!
Can't help thinking it's me!

Seems perfectly normal, I think he's just a bit nervous like you said about being intimate with you in front of a group of strangers, after some time he'll just start acting normal and you won't have to worry!

I always find it funny how people are more inclined to talk about their relationships with a bunch of strangers rather than with the person they say they love.
Sign of our times I guess.
My point is, talk to him.
