Think about whether or not the man in your life truly listens to you. Does he bring up past conversations and remember what you like and dislike? Does he try to alter behavior after an argument? If the answer to these questions is yes, then you may just have a man who listens to you and a man whom you can trust.
"Seems to me that he doesn't know or try to understand what your intents are. You always have to explain and/or tell him. You can't seem to rely on him."
He's also...not very sentimental. A small part of the core...is the sentimental part.
If such dates, memories, etc. are any significant to him, he would mention it here and there eventually.
