<human>: My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year and we both love each other very much. But my friends are telling me that I shouldn't waste my time because he hasn't made any effort to take me out and do couple related stuff. I tell them that he can't because he is broke and I usually don't mind picking up the bill when we do go out on dates (I'm the one who pays for it; the food and anything that involves money being spent when we are together). I try not to let it bother me at first but it is starting to become obvious that he has never attempted to try anything "romantic" to make up for the lack of material gifts or gestures and he makes promises that I know he cannot keep. The best that he can do would be intimate stuff like kissing, sex, and a bunch of I love you statements. I don't want to end the relationship so what can I do to change this situation?

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: Boyfriend hasn't made any effort other than kisses, sex, and a bunch of i love you texts/chats. My friends thinks either he should put more effort or I should dump him
