Communication struggles

[Sleepless]

My Daddy is one of the sweetest, kindest, and silliest people that I have ever met. That's why I fell in love with him. Now that we've been dating so long he's sort of slowly shifted over from sending me long sweet texts to picking on me like I'm one of his guy friends. I don't mind it when he picks on me a little, we're best friends so it's normal for us to tease each other. I do mind the lack of his sweet/romantic side though. He used to say the sweetest things about how I was his baby girl forever and ever and we'd have kiss/tickle fights and stuff, but that's all rare now. I honestly miss it so much, all the lovey dovey cutesy stuff. I've tried bringing this up with him, but I'm confused about how to word everything and I end up confusing us both about what I'm trying to say.

 

I was wondering if anyone could advise me on what to say to him? I know he'd do anything for me, but he can't fix things if I can't figure out how to say what I'm trying to say.

If you find it hard to say verbally try writing him a letter instead. It allows you to put down everything you want to say with out interruption and without getting confused.

Once your Daddy has read it then you can talk about it

Honestly what's happening is perfectly normal, though. You can obviously change that but most relationships go through the cutesy phase and slowly fade into the more "normal monotone" phase. Just make sure you communicate.

to a point, this is totally normal part of a relationship. you're slipping into a phase where you're more comfortable with each other, which is good too. but you could always try starting it yourself. acting more cutesy in texts and see if he responds to that. or maybe just tell him you miss it sometimes. be honest and upfront and clear with your words. most men appreciate that, as they cant read minds anymore than we can.

Thank you everyone! I'm going to write him a little letter about it and see if that works.

I told my Daddy in a very clear way how I felt. He said that he's going to do everything he can to remember that I need the cute cheesy stuff with the teasing. He really is the sweetest. Thanks again for the advice everyone
