<human>: As a bit of background info, I met my girlfriend about a year ago, she works at the same company. She was in a long term but unhappy relationship, and in December last year we started seeing each other. Everything just fitted into place with her, and she broke up with the guy she was with and we've now been together officially for a couple of months.

I'm a person and very set in my ways and won't change for someone, not to be difficult, but because I am who I am and I can't pretend to be someone I'm not! She's actually very understanding of this and I try to be flexible where I can and so does she.

However, the problem we are trying to get through now is that we have been technically with each other for about six months, and yet I am completely unable to express in words how I feel about her.

I can show how I feel when I'm with her, but the moment I try to put anything into words I just can't find them. This isn't because I don't have those feelings, and she's not expecting me to tell her I love her or anything that serious, she just wants something, and I can't even do that. I could put it into writing but I feel like that's a cheap easy solution to the problem. And after it's she brings it up, I then feel I can't say anything for a while because it would seem forced just because it would make her happy.

I'm not exactly what you call a shy person, but I know I have a serious lack of self-confidence. I had been single about four years before she came along, and it never bothered me too much and I enjoyed being single. She has made everything in my life better though, and more than anything I want this to work out and be ok. It's just she is finding it so hard now and I'm screwing with her head because I can say even a few things to express my emotions towards her.

I'd really appreciate any advice anyone can offer, it's late here so I'll be up for a couple more hours to answer any questions etc.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: I am unable to express to my girlfriend how I feel towards her and just can't manage to ever find the words. It's now becoming a problem and I think threatening it's future.
