Whenever I come on to my girlfriend, she rolls over and pretends to be asleep

DEAR DEIDRE: WHENEVER I come on to my girlfriend she rolls over and pretends to be asleep.

She’s got zero interest in sex and it’s making me feel rejected and frustrated.

I’m 28 and she’s 25. We started dating two years ago.

She won’t talk about sex, so I don’t know if her problem is with me or if she’s always felt like this.

We did have sex at the start of our relationship but I think she just did it to please me.

I don’t think it’s normal for a woman of her age. My previous girlfriends wanted to do it all the time.

I’ve tried everything I can think of to get her in the mood – being romantic, buying her presents, complimenting her on her body. Nothing works.

She just says she’s not in the mood.

What can I do? I love her and don’t want to break up with her, but I can’t stay celibate for much longer.

DEIDRE SAYS: If a young woman has no interest in sex, it’s likely there’s something deeper going on.

Perhaps she had a previous bad experience, or was abused.

Could she be feeling low about herself or are there issues in your relationship?

You need to talk to her and tell her you love her but are worried about his, and feel you’re both missing out on intimacy.
