been in the LTR for 6 months. She's 18, I'm 19. I'm not even really sure how to begin but I'll try my best to keep it concise.

The problem isn't one thing, it's just a set of severely unusual things that she does. She constantly dreads me, perhaps unintentionally but she will constantly talk about her male friends with plausible deniability. About them doing favours for her etc. I usually brush it off but she's told me in the past that if she wasnt with me she would probably be with this one guy friend who is in their circle and she talks about him sometimes, again with perfect plausible deniability. It's so unusual, and I can't tell if it's unintentional as she is rather ditsy and v submissive, sort of childish.

Another thing is she always seems somewhat reluctant. She rarely appears vulnerable and when she is she shuts off. She will always have a slight resistance to sex, she never enthusiastically initiates things. Even with meetups she'll wait until I initiate one and she usually obliges but sometimes she turns it down, again with perfect plausible deniability.

I'm not really sure what the approach is here. I'm used to girls slathering themselves over me but she still hasn't really shown any weakness. She does tell me she loves me sometimes, but only, only, when I don't tell her it back. Sometimes she won't say it back when I say it. I am definitely higher SMV than her in looks, she is probably a HB8 but without being cocky I am better looking- I'm tall, Grecian and handsome and I've had lots of girls swoon over me.

I'm wondering is this normal? This slight reluctance and none responsiveness to when I attempt to dread. She talks about the future sometimes and I'm usually in it. I'm wondering what is going on here because perhaps I've become desensitized to it all. It's just a very unusual setup and I always feel as if I'm walking on eggshells with her. She is a great girl but I don't understand her behaviour.

Any advice?
