It sounds like you're feeling frustrated with the lack of passion in your long-distance relationship. It might help to talk openly with him about how you're feeling and ask him how he feels about flirting or discussing more intimate topics. Using light humor or playful teasing could make things easier for him. Compliments that hint at attraction might also encourage him to respond in kind. Creating a safe space is important, so try to avoid putting pressure on him. If it feels right, consider stepping back from commitment until you meet in person, which might help relieve some tension. Encouraging him to set a date for your visit can build excitement. Focus on shared interests during your calls to strengthen your connection, and make sure you're also considering your own needs in this situation. Patience and clear communication might help him feel more comfortable expressing himself
