<human>: I have been texting / skyping this guy since November 2013. We are not boyfriend and girlfriend but we are both silently interested in only each other. 

He is very very shy. It took me forever to get him to skype me and even longer to get him to talk on the phone. He is even cuter on video than in pictures! He is very sweet but I can tell he is uncomfortable with expressing affection. He rarely compliments me or flirts with me but when I ask him about it he gets all flustered and tells me he really likes me and that hes just shy. I don't think hes lying. We are friends on facebook and I can tell that this is just his personality and he's not being shady because he communicates with everyone this way. 

My current issue is that his extreme shyness is affecting our communication. I have to force him to express his thoughts. For example, I was having a really bad day a few days ago and I told him why and all he said was "Ohh sorry" and that was it. We haven't talked since. I find it very out of his character to be so short with me and I'm getting tired of being the backbone of whatever we have. 

What do I do now? I don't want to just throw in the towel because I really care about this guy and he really cares about me. I just don't know what to say or do from here. I don't want to waste my time either... Help?

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: LDR "boyfriend" is shy and doesn't communicate as much as he used to. Unsure of what to do.
