<human>: We've been together for about seven months now. Everything is great except for our communication. This is his first relationship and I'm actually the first girl he's ever been romantically involved with (it's kind of shocking because he can be so kind and romantic and sexy, too). But he's terrible at understanding my feelings. 

It's not unreasonable, is it? My previous boyfriends grew to know when I was feeling down or not. But he won't. And he doesn't ever seem to have anything wrong with his feelings. He's just oblivious. 

Recently, he actually brought it up (surprisingly) and he admitted that he's horrible at guessing how others feel. I explained that no one really "guesses," they just *know.* And he said that doesn't  work for him. Then, he asked me to *tell him* when I'm not feeling well, or when he's said or done something wrong. And he said he'd do the same for me. 

I feel hurt by this: he's basically telling me he has no empathy for me, ever, and he isn't even aware enough to know if he's bothering me. I don't want to have to spell these things out for him all the time. That would just make me even more unhappy.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: My boyfriend confessed that he can't tell how I'm feeling and asked me to tell me whenever he's bothering me. Is this normal?
