Our relationship has only been "serious" (she has issues with that definition) for a couple months now. But before that, for around a year, there was a huge amount of passion, sexual and otherwise. As we spent more and more time together (I began to spend 4-5 nights a week at her place), I felt a sort of lack of affection, if that makes sense. I couldn't tell if she really had serious feelings for me. I called her out on it, and it blew up into what it is now.

I honestly think she has strong feelings for me. But my desire to have her express it caused this whole issue. She's been very receptive to me doing things I would classify as "boyfriend duties," but I just felt she wasn't reciprocating. All I was looking for was her to reassure me that she cared about me. A hug and a deep kiss would have sufficed. But she balked on it.
