It's like he's dismissive of such thing. Everytime I say something sweet, such as a text telling him of a song that reminds me of him, implying that I'm thinking about him or stuff like "you made my day great" he always has a snarky remark. We've been seeing each other for 6 months.

For example, he's visiting family at the moment and I haven't seen him in almost a month. I sent him a text saying "They're playing your favorite song at this McDonald's. Throwback to our car rides " and he responded with "You're eating McDonald's?! Healthy!!!"

Am I being highly sensitive here?

I would use the word "observant."

Does HE ever initiate sweet talk with you?

My husband has a weird quirk where he replies to a lot of my comments with a song lyric using one of the words I just said. So sometimes he doesn't actually hear what I said because he is joking about the song lyric. Sometimes it's funny. Sometimes it's super annoying.

But he doesn't do it EVERY time I speak.

Your BF may not be into sweet talk, and you have to decide if you want to get use to it and live with it.

Some men are uncomfortable with sweet talk. Makes them feel...unmanly(?) I like it myself. My lady is real good at it too. Lol, but not all men are like that. Reasons vary. But why not just ask him if it makes him uncomfortable? Beats the alternative of shear speculation.

It's just sometimes hard for a guy to respond to that stuff.

I know for me, I don't respond well to those kind of comments. If I had been with someone only 6 months and they made "cute" comments, I'd most likely ignore them or just make jokes instead of respond.

No. He's rude. DTMFA (Dump The Mother-F.... Already) Either he's not into you, or he's not your type--can't deal with cuddly messages or sentiments. How is he when you say things like that to him face-to-face?

I think there are a lot of reasons to dump someone, but dumping someone because they are not so comfortable responding to that kind of talk seems extreme. I think a better course of action is communication and talking to the guy.

I totally agree 200% Dump his stupid, MFing ass NOW!!! You've barely been seeing him for any length of time & he's already saying things like this?! The next things he'll say are things insulting YOU personally, meaning he'll say something about your appearance (you're fat, ugly, etc.), your intelligence (you're stupid, etc.), your clothing style, etc. Anything insulting to make you feel small & make him feel superior.

I definitely would NOT be waiting for him when he gets back! I'm not sure he's just seeing "family" for a WHOLE month....probably another woman.

I read your post to my fiance' & the 1st thing he said is, he's already onto someone else & cheating on you because if he loved you, he wouldn't say these nasty, horrendous things. My fiance' (a male also) thinks he's a d*** & also said the next steps are insulting you to demoralize you IN PUBLIC. My fiance's loser-ass dad's like this & he even yanked a chair out from his 2nd wife on purpose at a restaurant so she could fall on her @rse & he thought it was so hilarious. Who the F treats their loved ones like that?!

Even a friend doesn't talk like this to another friend. HOW can you continue to keep dating someone like this?! You don't deserve this BS. If he can't even handle you saying things like, "they're playing our song", he doesn't deserve to be in a relationship whatsoever! Im fact, he can't handle LIFE, period.

I'd never answer his calls, texts, etc. anymore. He can wonder what happens all he wants. Men like this aren't worth the $#!t on the bottom of my shoe!

Have some self-respect & dignity, my God! What makes you think you deserve this f'ed up treatment?!

He sounds like a real charmer. Why would you want to be with someone like that?

Is he fun to be around otherwise? Is he shy and/or insecure? He might not like the sweet stuff.

Or.... you've only been going out for 6 months and he's been away for over a month - maybe his sweetness has faded.
Be cool and dial it back. Wait till you see him in person to ask him - but not as soon as he gets home!
