<human>: My GF (20) and I (20) have been together almost a year now (Jan 21), and everything's been perfect up till recently. We are extremely compatible; we can do anything together or nothing at all and still enjoy it.  She has been quite mad at me for a while now, and I can't seem to find the right things to do to make it better. Most of the problem is that I've been doing badly in school, and haven't done much to change it until recently. But now I have a full proof plan for school (tutor, documentation, extra study time, etc.). However, there's still quite a problem between us, I'm told I have a tendency to let things sit, and not do anything about it, but most of that comes from not having a clue what to do.  I always feel like using complements and such when trying to make up is contrived and patronizing, although I've been told this isn't the case. I'm terrible with words, so it's hard to tell her how I really feel, and I've got a problem that acts like selective mutism when we argue, I can't find words to say, which just makes her madder because I'm not saying anything. She's been asking me to take more control, to take her on more dates, which I'm working on; we have a date scheduled for Sunday. I'm doing everything she asked for, I just don't know what else to do. I guess I tend to overlook the little things?

I'm not very well socialized at all, and a tad of a sociopath, so talk to me as if I'm  8.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: I don't know how to fix situations, show that I care enough to fix them etc. How do I communicate this?
