Hmm...while this is cute, the truth is you can't wait around for someone to 'pull you out of your shell', for many reasons. That this is putting a lot of pressure on someone else to do something FOR you and essentially putting them up on a pedestal - eventually they will fail in some way and fall off the pedestal HARD.

But the biggest thing is, as romantic as the trope of 'he/she knew without me even having to say something' IS, it's unrealistic to expect in everyday people. If you have a partner, you HAVE to communicate with them - you can't expect them to read your mind. Many relationships have ended because of this misconception that if your partner 'loves' you'll they'll just know...FOR you. But your partners aren't pyschic, and having the idea they should just know and pre-meditate without you having to express yourself is really just a vivid fantasy to support why YOU shouldn't have to come out of your shell or make any effort. It's pinning all the effort on other people. It's unfair and frankly unrealistic to expect.

Basically, next time you find yourself in a relationship and find yourself pissed that your partner didn't just KNOW something about your inherently, stop yourself, punch yourself mentally for expecting them to be superhuman, and then TALK with your partner about your needs and wants. Penalizing people for shit they don't or can't know because you're keeping it bottled up is never right.

(not that my last paragraph really applies to your exact situation, but it's just a warning because if you're pining for someone who will 'see into your soul' enough to know they 'should' be pulling you out of your shell because you secretly want it, I could see how you could also easily fall into the idea that this partner should also be able to pre-meditate other things, and this expectation will ruin your relationships)

And not just romantic relationships; expecting everyone to read your mind can make your family life and friendships spiral into all sorts of petty fights.
