I know exactly what you mean me and my fiance where so affectionate when we first got together then in 6 months it died down. It wasn't because our love died it was simply because he likes showing me affection in different ways. Yes we do hug and kiss and have sex just not as often. At first i didn't like this but after a year together he asked me to marry him now i'm sure that means that he still loves me. If you would like to talk more them inbox me xx

The lovey-dovey period usually last 3 months to 3 years! But, ALWAYS ends. And there's a good reason for that. It's a physiological/evolution thing, that period is made to make love, and therefore babies. The period ends simply so you would stop making love and concentrate/take care of the baby.

But, now is the opportunity to develop true love! Not only your hormones going crazy in your heads.

True love...

LilPixie agony auntInitiate the holding hands and kissing and see if he responds to it.

In most relationships things cool down a bit after a while, I guess it's mostly because people just get used to each other. It doesn't mean that the feelings aren't as strong as before though.

If he doesn't respond to you trying then have another talk with him and ask him how he feels about your relationship and ask why he doesn't want to do these things anymore. If he doesn't agree with what you think then maybe it's time to move on and find someone who wants the same things as you.

As a guy you are taught to do little lovey dovey things to let a girl know you are interested. The problem is that most men are not really like this. That's why it's better to be yourself and not listen to others about dating as a guy.

This guy is not going to change. You have to decide if that's ok for you. I'm sure there are other good traits that attracted him to you. Focus on those.

Maybe don't let there be too much lovey dovey stuff next time. It'll make the transition from dating to boyfriend/girlfriend status easier. And make it much easier for your future marriage. Good Luck.
