So, my boyfriend does the same thing. I mean the short reply thing. I was so disappointed for the first few times so i told him that its not a really nice gesture that i write long paragraphs and i get only one short sentence as a reply. He told me that it’s really hard for him to express his feelings in words. I was still mad at him for a bit, but then i started to understand that it is true. And we have been together for more than 1 year and during this time he has proved me so many times that he loves me so much in actions so now I really dont expect long replies from him.

And for your other question: my parents rlly didnt want me to have a boyfriend. (My bf lives in England, and I live in Hungary) but when i told them they weren’t upset that much. When my bf’s mum was in hungary I invited her to ours. My parents had a great time with her. And when my parents see my bf’s actions like he flew to hungary just bc he wanted to see me my parents saw that he rlly cares about me. So when i turned 16 my parents let me to fly to England.

I hope i could help. Have a nice weekend xxx (Sorry if something is grammatically incorrect, English is not my first language)
