<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

It might be a stupid question, but we just don't seem to mesh. When I hear love songs about how people are desperate to be together, it just makes me feel lonely and worthless, because I really don't think it would have a longterm impact on my bf if we'd break up. He's dated so much in the past and has been on other dating sites while we've been together and I think he's just given up on trying to be the guy that sweeps me off my feet in any way. He'll do little things, like pick me up a soda, but not much more. 

He's not affectionate and I guess that's okay but I want affection. He's dominant and I guess that's okay too but I don't like to be steamrolled. 

I just don't know what love is supposed to feel like anymore and I need advice. With an ex, when we broke up, it was like I lost an actual part of myself that I loved and was the basis for so many of my accomplishments and tendencies. With my current bf, I just don't feel like we've gotten that close and I don't think he'll ever want anyone to be that close to him. 

I know this has been random, but I'm so confused.
<bot>: How much love is enough to make a relationship work? Is it desperate love, or is it just enough to get by?
