How to keep the feelings when you started dating?

??

it’s kinda long story. I was going to leave this country but I met my bf 2 months before I was going to leave. We knew it from the beginning. I couldn’t be serious about him coz i was leaving and there was no point to get serious. But we couldn’t help it. I decided to stay in this country one more year and started living with him 3 months ago.
“We” don’t really have problems. We like to do same things and we both are very busy so it’s also good for us not to stick together too much.

But “I” have problems.

I am so scared that we will lose feelings towards each other as a bf and gf. Especially, I am afraid that he will lose interested in me… We started dating 6 months ago and living together for 3 months. We both work late so we actually have only 2 hours at home and we go to bed. My bf says it’s normal that our feelings calm down and we feel comfortable together so it’s good. If you ask me what have changed, I can’t explain well. We always hold hands, kiss and go out weekends. But I feel something is missing.

Does this happen to you, too? How do people keep the feeling if they live together??

Thanks

oh yeah! this is normal…. the honeymoon fades every time. :) the feelings ride this big wave of emotion and then it settles… and it is your job then to stir the waters again. you have to plan things, and start loving the way they read the newspaper, the feelings come back but you can’t just expect them to. you have to remember why you love them, and then you will see why and they will come back.

:) if you are not in love anymore … then there may be more to it. otherwise just remember what it is you love in them and look for it… and tell them when you see it.

All I can think of is to just enjoy every moment that you two have together. On the weekends you two should work out some of your future plans together. After you two finish taking care of your work and business, you need some kind of plan to stick with each other, so you both should work on that.

Thank you, sahara and Neutra.

unnn so it happens to many couples. *My last serious bf was 2 years ago,,, so I kinda forgot how it worked… >

You guys are right. “I” should not forget how I used to feel about him before. can’t expect him to do the same but , yeah, it will come back. I worry and worry and can’t enjoy the present. huh. I will take your advice and try to talk about future plan with him coz I have my dream and can’t stay in this country if I follow my dream… !!!

thanks again!!!

For my fiance and I ..It was getting sort of like this.
We’ve been together since we were kids, and eventually we just sort of became that “old boring couple”. We had stopped going out and having fun and instead just stayed inside to watch movies and spend time together.

For us, we just started getting doing things and getting out again. We don’t do this constantly because then it wouldn’t seem as fun ..but when we were kids we used to always go to the movie theatre together. Well, we started doing that every once in awhile now and it seems to rekindle those old feelings.

We also went to an amusement park in August. We’d never went together before and it was such a blast! He had a slight fear of heights and I had one of roller coasters, but we both faced these fears together and I think it actually made us closer.

So, just try new things together, be exciting and spontaneous and most of all, have fun! :)
