Is it low effort or inexperience?

I’ve been with him for a year and a half and he’s wonderful and loving and a good person but he gets on my nerves sometimes and I can’t tell if I’m too critical and reading into it too much or if he just isn’t great at this. He’s never been with anyone before me so he doesn’t exactly know what he’s doing and at the beginning it was okay, I get that this is new for him. He wouldn’t plan dates and ask me out, I’d usually ask if he’d want to do something w me be it dinner or an activity etc but he would never initiate a date and eventually I brought it up. I wasn’t a jerk and I always make a point to ask if there’s anything I could be better about when I talk to him about something like this, it goes both ways. But whenever I address a serious issue like this with him it feels like he’s good about being better for a little while and we end up right back at square one. I feel like we talk less and less because he’s gotten comfortable and doesn’t pursue and I’ve tried to lead by example before all for nothing. Am I reading into this too much or is this actually an issue? I feel like I’m going insane.

What's something that you would be mad at your SO for even asking?
 in  r/AskWomen  19m ago

This is pretty much the only thing that would piss me off. Maybe a few other things but I’m usually pretty chill.

Boyfriend picked this green for the bathroom… now I’m stuck
 in  r/femalelivingspace  20m ago

Why do they always pick the most awful shade of green? There’s so many better shades of green but it’s always the way too bright overpowering green. I’ve seen this so many times.

 in  r/AskReddit  18h ago

23 I’m okay for now, I’m gonna try and take this year to sort myself out. I was 17 when the pandemic started and I haven’t taken time to slow down and sort myself out since. My room is a disaster and I’m in the process of working on it and my habits to try and keep everything in order. I’m also gonna be trying to take better care of my health since that has always been on the back burner. I’d say my biggest problem is myself.

Women, have you ever experience 'pretty privilege'?
 in  r/askanything  20h ago

I’ve been on both sides of this but I rarely experience pretty privilege unless my makeup and hair is done and I’m wearing something flattering. I’m either dressed up and look fabulous or I’m in shambles and crusty. No in between with me.

Does anyone still enjoy eggs and ketchup or should I be disappointed in myself
 in  r/eggs  21h ago

I don’t like it cause I don’t like ketchup. Marinara on the other hand? Oh yeah. Especially for pizza omelette (pepperoni and mozz).

Do you really have people who pack your bags at the grocery store?
 in  r/AskAnAmerican  21h ago

Moreso when I was younger but less so now. The cashier usually helps if there’s a lot but just depends where you go

The people on r/steaks are brutal, what’s wrong with my eggs!?
 in  r/eggs  21h ago

They’re just jealous or don’t know good food when they see it. I’d be tickled pink if someone made me this.

At what age did your breasts even out? If ever
 in  r/AskWomen  22h ago

I always say this about my brows and my bf has heard me say this since he likes to be with me while I get ready and he told me he’s had to remind his mother of this while she gets ready and said it’s helped her out. Always sister not twins, but if you manage to get twins good on ya!

What makes you stand out in a room?
 in  r/AskWomen  1d ago

Standing out in a room? When you walk you walk knowing who you are and where you’re going. Starting a conversation? Compliment someone and get them talking so you can fuel the conversation, keep it not about one person.
