What do you do when your boyfriend doesn't show the efforts you want him to?

My boyfriend and I has been together for 16 months now and I've seen his efforts for our relationship but those efforts he does aren't the ones in my mind that I want to see from him. Maybe because I'm a typical girl who of course would love to accept flowers and stuff toys from her boyfriend. I would love pure attention from him and want to feel that I'm the center of his life. But his efforts are different. We met here in Jeddah because our parents work here. I'm 24 and he's 18. Yeah... taboo much! Though we've faced critics about our relationship and we've managed to make them accept us... maybe not completely but at least they acknowledge that we are in a relationship. We've been apart several times. The first time was when me and my whole family went to Europe for two weeks. Yes, he waited for me and then we met three times after that before I went home to the Philippines to study again and see if my body can cope with it. We went home by May and then he followed me to the Philippines in the month of August. He gave up his visa so he could follow me. Yes, I think we didn't think about it that much. We just wanted to be together. Our relationship back then was still a secret but we managed to reveal it later. Then only after a few months, I returned here in Jeddah again for more than a month to renew my visa and he waited until my return. When I returned home, it was the time he was going to school again. Within that period before February 25 this year, he traveled from his school which was almost an hour trip away from our house then after coming to see me he's going to go home which will take him 2 hrs. He does that 4-5 times a week. He also introduces me to his family, friends and acquaintances and wants to bring me anywhere he goes. He even gave me access to his online accounts and was willing to exchange sim cards with me. Whatever I tell him, almost all of what I tell him... he does it. Though when it comes to giving gifts and surprises on special occasions, he doesn't have the initiative. He only surprised me on our anniversary and on my birthday with gifts. What I don't like about him is that he doesn't tell everything to me. When he's in school with his classmates and what they do. It's what bothers me. Though I know he doesn't go home late, I'm just bothered. And when it comes to other things like his computer games , watching movies and his smoking habit... I feel second rate. I feel insecure. Does he really love me? I feel he does, I just think I can't control being a nagger.
