I’ve been with my partner for about 7 months. I love spending time with him and could see a future for us, but our love languages don’t align perfectly and sometimes I feel like I’m not receiving as much affection as I need. I don’t want to come off as clingy, how do I communicate my needs without scaring him off?

Hello there! Thanks so much for sharing your question, I'm sure we've all experienced relationship moments where we're not quite in sync. Depending on what your partner is like, I would consider handling this in two potential ways. The first one would be to find a moment where you can sit down and have a conversation about it, I think every healthy relationship has great communication and whether your partner agrees or not, you should feel safe and comfortable to express how you feel and know it will be heard and respected. If I were having the conversation I would focus on how I feel and what I like, rather than him not giving you enough affection that way you're not telling him he's doing something wrong, you're simply expressing what you enjoy. Otherwise I would try and influence the situation by expressing more affection towards him to encourage greater affection between the two of you, let him know when he's down something that you really enjoy whether it be intimacy or something as simple as stroking your hand. I hope this response helps you girl, relationships are tricky but when you're both getting what you want from it they can be magic x
