We have been dating for a little over a month now, and I just want us to become closer. But it doesn't look like he is trying very hard. I want this to work.
My boyfriend doesn't know how to be my boyfriend. What should I do?

This query indicates you are equally underequipped for this relationship. For him, the novelty of being part of it seems to have waned somewhat, which is natural. Guys need to be incentivised to do stuff one way or another, and hate being told they're at fault. Taking the initiative on planning things for you to enjoy together is a step in the right direction. You want someone to worship the ground beneath your feet, get a pet instead.
We have been planning on going to each others house. But we have just been really busy. We just see each other at school. We have been also working things out. It's getting better. Thanks for the advice.
Glad to hear. Best of luck.
Appreciate Your Own Value
You likely know girls who would do anything just to gain the attention and approval of a boy. Others may lower their standards just so they can have a boyfriend. However, the principle ‘you reap what you sow’ applies in this matter. (Galatians 6:7-9) If you don’t value yourself and the standards you try to live by, you’re likely to attract boys who don’t value you or your standards either.
The fact is, not all boys will like you—and that can be a good thing! But if you are conscious of caring for both your outer beauty and your inner beauty, you will have “great value in the eyes of God”—and you will attract the type of young man that will suit you best.—1 Peter 3:4.

Like me and him will tell more stuff to each other. And he hasn't dated anyone before. He is new at this.
