Think my bf isn’t attracted to me

So me and bf have been together nearly 2 years. We’ve always had a Rocky s9x life, recently he has been harping on about steak and b!ow job day, which I’m more than happy to oblige. But when it comes down to it and I say do you want one he says no. Which makes me feel like he isn’t attracted to me or doesn’t want me. I don’t know what to do. I love this man so much and would do anything he asks please any advice is welcome

Don't just accept a 'no', ask 'why not?'

Buy a steak, ask how he likes it cooked and put the grill on...

“Steak and blow job day” but then doesn’t want it ugh just break up stop investing this time and energy into people who are clearly only wasting them.

It's perfectly normal to feel insecure about whether or not your other half is attracted to you in this situation, but as if everything it's normally not nearly as straightforward as simply whether or not he finds you attractive. The thing is, you're not going to know what the reason is unless you ask him. It doesn't sound like you have, so that's what you need to do first before seeking advice on here.

Any time I ask his reply is something along the lines of “I’m not in the mood, or I’m tired I’ve got work in the morning” which I understand he’s not always going to be in the mood for sexy time but he was the one who kept saying to me and his friends that he couldn’t wait for one

But that's you asking him on individual occasions, and him saying he's not in the mood or tired. You need to ask him about the wider issue of him consistently not wanting to have sex.

its not that we never have sex, we do but it is always me that initiates it. We have spoken about it before and he says that a lot of times when I try to have sex with him he’s just not horny. I just don’t understand it. We kiss and cuddle and have a really good relationship except for this. It honestly is the only thing we fight about

This is a really common problem. It's usually the man who wants more sex than the woman, but sometimes it is this way around. It's actually pretty unusual for two people in a relationship to have the same sex drive. More often than not one does have a higher sex drive than the other. It may not be the silver bullet that you want, but it's just something you need to work at. It takes deeper and more honest conversation than just why he doesn't want to have sex as often as you. It also takes good communication to raise it, express your own insecurities, and to not fight about it. So really I think the main takeaway is that this isn't unusual, and most couples will have disagreements about this. It's about being empathetic and understanding towards each other, and figuring out ways to bring you closer together. It may be that that involves you accepting that you might have sex a bit less than you might want to, but again, that does depend on the situation. As you say, you have an excellent relationship other than this, but this is a notoriously difficult issue. It's just something you need to work at.

Taking a more serious line than my somewhat flippant comment above, I agree very much with the comments above about seeking the cause of his reticence.

One thing I noted in the reply which I'm quoting is "saying to me and his friends..." He appears to want to appear confident and assertive about sex to his mates, but isn't like that in reality. Has he ever had issues about his sexual performance?
