<human>: We've been going out for 6 months and although I make sure to always tell him what I genuinely appreciate about his appearance and personality and character he has never once complimented me. I make sure that I only compliment him when I'm being sincere, but I love sharing with him how special he is to me and making him feel loved and wanted. 

Every aspect of our relationship is great, it's just I'm very insecure about my appearance (he doesn't know this) and on top of that he's the first boyfriend I've ever had that hasn't complimented me. Especially in the beginning of a relationship is when I find guys pint out what they like about you and it's so reassuring for a self depreciating and shy girl like me. I can't help but feel I'm being unfair to him by saying this though, because every other aspect of our relationship couldn't be better.

But the reason I'm motivated to write this post is that we were discussing a friend and he referred to her as a "babe" and it KILLED me purely because he's never once even said 'I like your smile/eyes/laugh/that thing you do' etc. I feel so pathetic but this is how I feel and I can't help it. Am I irrational?

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: boyfriend probably thinks I'm ugly. I'm very insecure. Worried I'll ruin a good relationship with my own insecurities.
