So this is my first post. I just don’t know where to turn for advice. Pretty depressing but it's all I got lmao. Anyway, here it goes: I (21 F) am dating (24 M). As of this Friday, we have been dating for 7 months. Everything has been good in the sense of no fighting, yet there have been some issues for me. For background reference, he served in the military for 5 years as a marine. He is the first guy I've dated who's been in the military and the oldest guy I have ever dated. I guess with dating an older guy I expected a more mature relationship, yet I don't believe it's anything but that. The biggest issue I have had is the way he treats me, I am not saying by any means that he mistreats me, yet, he doesn't treat me as a woman. I feel sometimes he treats me like a friend with benefits. I don't receive many texts or calls from him. The texts I do receive are very simple, like “How was your day” and “How was class”. I understand why due to us both being in school and super busy, but I feel like I am the only one who put effort into our entire relationship. Another reason is he does not change the way he speaks around me compared to his friends. The times I receive any “relationship talk” is the handful of times he’s said, “You look nice”. I have never been called more than that by him, no beautiful, no pretty, nothing; except when he told me I’m a 10 in my state. I don't want it to seem like I’m bragging or anything of that nature, I know I'm not the prettiest girl around, but I am confident and know I at least have a decent face card lol. He also does not call me any pet names like babe or baby. We have never gotten into a lovey-dovey talk. We have also never said I love you yet. I’m guessing he needs more time but it makes me sad since I’ve been in love with him for months. So far from what I describe, it sounds like he only sees me as a monogamistic partner for him to have sex with. Yet, other things have happened to make me think otherwise. He was going to go to his parent's place in Louisiana and I was going to meet his entire family until his car broke down while we were an hour out. He also is starting to talk about our relationship in a future tense. He is actively doing the physical next steps that are supposed to be taken in a relationship, it’s the emotional stuff I am concerned with. One big issue that’s just started is he has started becoming more weird about my devices, searching through my phone and watch. I have nothing to hide but when I ask if he is trying to look through my stuff he sarcastically says “you got something to hide?”. I don’t really care if he does or not, yet it makes me feel as if he’s started not respecting me or my privacy or if he just doesn’t trust me. I’m confused on how to make our connection more and to try and get into a better space of our relationship, selfishly I want the intimacy and want to feel special more than anything. I guess my question is how to get to this point in our relationship without making things weird or scaring him off?

TL;DR I’m wanting more intimacy in my relationship with a guy that’s not very emotional. How can I get this?
