He's too nice.

I've been seeing my boyfriend for about two months, now.
Ever since the beginning he's been close to worshipping the land I walk on. Sure, I always just saw it as an okay thing, I never took it so seriously, even though I hate being treated like a princess.
He's gotten worse and worse at it and has basically claimed himself my slave, if you want to believe it...
Rough E.G: I don't like a band he listens to, I'll tell him what I think of it, and recommend what I listen to. Like any normal person does, in a non-manipluative manner, of course.
Now, if he doesn't like a band I listen to, he'll keep his mouth shut, no matter what he thinks of it, and would tell his friend off, if he listen to that very same band.
He follows me like a puppy. He gives me everything.
I hate it. I've tried to tell him that he's too nice!
Can anyone offer me any tips on like, reverse psychology for this guy? I just want him to grow his own opinions, and speak them out to me! I'd love for him to just ONCE stand up to any 'threat' I'd ever pose. I just want him to treat me as he'd like to be treated himself. I don't want to be smothered!
Can anyone offer any advice?

flat out talk w/ him and let him know that you are feeling smothered. Let him know you need someone that can be their own person....free to feel and express their own opinions rather then feeling a need to agree w/ everything you say whether he truly feels that way or not. Just flat out tell him what you need out of the relationship and if he still cannot give that too ....then you need to accept he's not right for you. You can part as friends....but there is nothing wrong w/ knowing what you want from a relationship and having certain expectations...ending a relationship if you feel you are not getting those things.

If it quaks like a duck then it must be a duck. This guy sounds too good to be true.It seems his heart is in a good place. Problem with this situation is that you always have to walk like you're on eggs and have to watch what you say in case you offend him since he's always careful not to do the same. Going on a mission to be be a nice guy backfires in the end. But being a complete jerk isn't cool either.

I think the best solution is for him to be himself around you. It's ironic that a good intention is yielding such a bad result.Since he's too nice (which is impossible) does that mean you don't truly know who he is (a falliable person)?

I think he sounds insecure and he is scared of losing you. So scared that he views the relationship as fragile and the slightest thing could break it so he doesn't want to make waves.

You have to try and explain that your relationship is solid and you're not going to call things off if he has a difference of opinion or speaks his mind or stands up to you (as long as it is done respectfully of course). Maybe toss him some homework where he has to tell you when he doesn't like something you like to show that the whole thing isn't going to crumble around his ears.

What I would warn you about is being overly-critical or over-bearing. You say he won't like a band you listen to but won't say anything....if he *did* say something what would your response be? If it would be to shout and scream and tell him you're listening anyway then it's no wonder he keeps his mouth shut. If you offer a compromise such as listening to a few more tracks before putting on his choice then he'll maybe learn to not be so timid in his thoughts.
