I dont know if i love my girlfriend

We have been dating for about 6 months. Shes great, funny smart, beautiful. But I dont feel what i felt when we first started dating. Is this normal? Maybe ive gotten to used to her? I dont want to lose her and do care about her. I just feel like i should feel more?

it happens its probably a phase but best way to handle this is talk to her about how you feel or go on a break but dont see other people like have a break for at least a week and you will start to miss her and realize that you either love her or you dont

Things change as any relationship progresses. Of course things aren’t going to feel the same as when you first started dating.In the beginning you didn’t know anything about her. That makes for excitement and a longing to know more. Time has just made you more relaxed. Nothing wrong with that at all. You still love her, and that’s all that matters, a good thing :)

Bud life is too short. If you’re not feelin it then be honest, you will only hurt her more if you don’t say anything and she starts picking up on it if she hasn’t already. Typically after a six month period of consistently dating the same person, you move out of what they call the “honeymoon phase” and enter a more comfortable state in your relationship. That burning fiery passion that you once felt has now died down to a warm glow. which is good, a dependable warm glow, not a raging out of control fire. However, that being said you know or not if there is just nothing left.. People grow apart and you can’t help how you feel. Word to the wise though, if you are going to end it make sure you want it to end and won’t be freaking out later because she is gone.

Best of luck to you!

Break up if you’re not feeling right. Just trust your instincts, but do her a favor and split gently and peacefully. She is a great girl, after all.

Only you can answer that question for yourself either you love her or you don’t. Don’t waste your time and her time if you don’t love her. Think of the feeling you get around her, are you only attracted to her physically or do you always want to be near her weather she looks good or bad. It’s the simple things liek that to know you love her.

I’ve been going out with my gf for 10 months, and the last couple of weeks I’ve been feeling diffrent, I can’t explain it. It’s not the same feeling that I used to have. But I still really love her. And yesterday I asked for a break and explained myself but she’s breaking down, and tellin me end it because she doesn’t wanna have todeal with the pain for any longer. And she’s just in this huge state of depression and I don’t wanna c her sad! And I want to be with her and feel the way we used to, but I can’t! I rly dint know what to do. Plz help

right now, I am feeling EXACTLY what you’re feeling. at first i was not sure about what to do, because i was uncertain of my feelings and i didnt want to hurt her by asking for a break. but as i sat and thought about it, i realized that in a relationship, you need to understand each other, care for each other, respect each other and above everything, have FEELINGS for each other. if you have tried for a few weeks/month to let that feeling thrust back but it hasnt, talk to her, ask say that you need a break to figure out what is going on with you and your feelings. if she actually likes you a lot or loves you, as bad as it may be for her, she will try understand you, as her greatest will will be for you to be back together as you are. take a couple of weeks off the relationship, but dont go around hooking up with other girls. let it sink in that you dont have her anymore and see how it will affect you. after that, go and talk to her about what you realized, be it good or bad. even though you have your whole life beyond you to find a perfect love, things shouldnt be forced. let it be and go with the flow.
