<human>: I've been dating my boyfriend for just over a year, and he's very good in many ways - listens to me when I'm upset, never says a mean word, always replies to my texts, we go on dates regularly and the sex is good. He is a fun friend to hang out with. But he never says anything romantic and never says he loves me. It's starting to make me depressed. The past couple weeks I've talked to him about it a couple times and he just won't say it. If I say he doesn't seem like he loves me he says "oh, that's not true," which is negating a negative, but he'll never say the positive thing. He said he would have to think about it after our last conversation.

He has always said he'd be happy to die alone and having a partner isn't a priority in his life. This in combo with the above issue makes me really question his emotional connection to me.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Am I expecting too much or should my SO of one year be able to verbally express that he loves (or doesn't love!) me?
