Give me some perspective?

My long term relationship ended last summer, after my ExP cheated and left me for somebody else. A few months later, after feeling like I would never be happy again, I met someone new, and I fell hard. It sounds ridiculous but as soon as we met, I felt like things slotted into place. At first, he was always paying compliments, saying sweet things, telling me how much I meant to him - all things that I loved hearing. Now though, a few months down the line, it’s not happening anymore. We have fun together, date nights etc but the sweet comments are a thing of the past. He does tell me he loves me, so I don’t know if this is just him being an unromantic person which is just him, or if he’s getting bored and complacent. Part of me is also worried that he doesn’t want to be with me: but then I feel that this is just my past relationship coming back to haunt me. So please, help me get some perspective. Is the change a sign he doesn’t actually care as much as he said he did, or is it just that he might not be as romantic/emotionally open as I want him to be?

Have you spoken to him about this?

He kind of just brushes it off - he’s very much a ‘man’s man’ (which I hate as a phrase but it’s the best way I can describe him) so tends to say I’m being daft. Not in a cruel way, more in a joking kind of way.
