<human>: I met my boyfriend at the beginning of this school year at university.  I immediately took a liking to him and we started dating not long after.  Our relationship is great.  We are pretty different people but we make it work and are generally really happy with each other.  

Recently, I noticed that he never smiled around me anymore and I brought it up in conversation.  He admitted to not having particularly strong feelings towards me but wanted to make it clear that he still cared about me and wanted to at least stay friends.  We decided to not see each other for a week and decide on where to go from there. 

I have strong feelings towards him and if at all possible I would like to stay together with him, but I am happy with just being friends.  There is no animosity between us and I still think he's a great guy.  Have any of you ever dealt with something like this and if so, how did it turn out?

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: Boyfriend doesn't feel the same way I feel about him, but he still cares about me.  Should we keep trying or simply try to be friends?
