Something New

Erik brought up a conversation yesterday about how he hasnt been trying to impress me recently. He said that that bugged him. This was kind of new information for me. It seems like for me that I need to impress him more because he is so smart and talented. But obviously there is something wrong with all of this in general. Do we really need to feel that we need to impress each other in order to have a strong relationship? I never thought we did. I've never expected Erik to impress me. To be more than his normal self. Yet he thinks that he has to. ...? Idk what to say or do.
