How do I tell my boyfriend I want to hear "I love you" and feel crazy passion from him soon? I don't think it should be taking so long. We've been seeing each other for over 8 months, 2 to 3 times a week. If he was thinking about this relationship seriously and wanting to commit shouldn't he be asking me questions about future plans? if I want a family? thoughts on marriage? moving in? All things I would like if only he asked. I don't know how to discuss this with him. I also don't want to be the one repeatedly bringing it up. I want to see some initiative from him. How do I tell him this and add that if I don't see something from him after a year or so I just won't be hanging around.

I have heard people say that when you have been with someone for a long time... the feeling of love changes, ebbs and flows, and takes on certain platonic elements that replace the blood-rush of the honeymoon period. If this is true how can I know whether the cooling of my feelings for my girlfriend is the above or the fact that she's not the one? [more inside]
