text: how can u keep a relationship with a goth? my bf is a goth and he never speaks much or shows emotions. i don't think his being goth has anything to do with his supposed lack of emotions. for whatever reason some guys have a super hard time showing emotion... period.. and some guys go complete drama queen about it (aka emo)  talk to your guy. tell him that you care about him and that you feel like maybe he is shutting you out when he doesn't speak to you or let you see emotion from him.  communication's the key to a good relationship. maybe he doesn't realize that the way he acts bothers you.
