Quick back story...

I grew up with my mother alone never had a dad around and my step dad was kind of an asshole. My mom was emotionally distant and me and her didn't share a mother son bond.

The issue....

The problem now is that I've learned the game and it kinda makes me come off as emotionally distant. My gf told me that I don't know how to love and I suck at showing that I care.

Now this is a girl I see myself spending the rest of my life with and I really don't want to lose her. The thought of it Rips me up inside....

Anyways last night she said I need time to think and she's giving me a 5 day break. fellas I don't know if you've loved a girl so much you can't bare the thought of losing her but that's how I feel about her.

So what do I need? Ladies, gents.... What I need is guidance on how to be more open, I need advice and guidance on how to show that I care (pickup messed up this area of me, made me try to avoid showing emotions etc.). Now obviously I have past issues that also affect this but man... I love this girl and I can't lose her and I can't do it by myself either so I'm trusting you lovely people of the internet to help me be a better man for her and for myself.

P.s I have 5 days to make a difference..

Edit: Day 3 just got off the phone with her we had an open and honest conversation.... And guys I've seen where we both fcked up.

Day 5: Saw her at school I was excited to see her and I basically got the cold shoulder so yeah.... Figured she's still hurting so I'm not pushing anything.. Will keep you guys updated.

Update: we had a great day today and it was all mellow and filled with laughs.
