Dear Miss Healing:

I would share with him what you feel and think. You wrote that you don’t want to “sound too needy”- it is possible to share feelings, even needy feelings in a way that doesn’t sound needy. You can use a confident tone of voice, not a whiny one, for example. You can state your sentences not with a …question mark at the end.

There is nothing weak about feeling needy, everyone is needy. As long as you don’t give him the responsibility to make you feel better, as long as you take responsibility to how you feel, it is okay to express yourself, I believe.
