the same types of crushes, and sometimes
they become love, but even so, I understand
the difference between the depth of attachment
in them, and that of a long and loving relationship.

Exactly. But, this is something we all have to
get through, in order to attain the insight.

I don't think that anyone fully has it. One can always
learn more, from another knife wound to the heart.

I understand thoroughly; it still doesn't justify being an a**hole.

I've been with my gf for over a year and I've spoken to her on the phone maybe 3 times. Dont stress about it. Some of us hate phones.

The AS side of me also requires that I explain why I/we need some affirmations in a relationship.
I feel that since I'm missing the nuances of non-verbal communication, I'm missing all the little things that my other half let 's me know everything is fine, or could be better in a wink wink sorta way.

I'm going to lean towards him not being into this as much as she is. Let go before you get rope burns.

Maybe you are making things a bit too easy for him by chasing him so hard, he feels he has got you and so needs to make no effort what-so-ever.
If you play it a bit cool, a bit hard to get, you might wake him up and he might think you are something he better hang on to or lose, which will end up making you more valueable in his eyes anyway as , easy come, easy go.

Honey, this sounds just like my second relationship. Let me know if I guess right, but things were great at first, right? Things with my second ex started falling apart around four months in. He barely called, was almost never available to spend time with, etc. It was awful. Turns out he cheated, or at least tried to cheat on me.

Let me tell you some wonderful advice I got from a friend:
"No one deserves to be treated like that. No one, especially not you. You may really love him, but you deserve better."

There will be someone out there that will love you with the same passion that you love him, but he'll always be there for you. It seems dismal, I know, but keep telling yourself it's true. <3

Hope this helps. *hugs* If you need to talk, I'm always open to it. ^_^
