why is the romance fading?

I've been dating my boyfriend for something around a year and 3 months..and it seems like the past few months have had zero romance..it's like he's changed. he used to bring me flowers all the time and be all touchy and kissy without it being "lets get it on".. i just feel like he doesn't love me the same any more..he's not passionate..we see each other just about daily.. i'm really close to his family..i dunno i just feel like he doesn't care the same way any more..like he's just used to me..

he used to just about court me.. dinner, surprises (even small stuff like he got me a pair of hilarious socks once..little things like that).. it's not that i want him to spend money on me, i want him to give me that attention he used to give me..

is there a way to get that back? or why is this happening in the first place?

i really don't want to loose him but i'm not feeling like he cares like he used to.

    This is why so many marriages end in divorce and so many comedians joke about how it's hell.

    The honeymoon period of being in a relationship never lasts forever. Relationships require a lot of effort and work to keep the other person happy. Its not that he doesnt care, its that he has become quite comfortable in the relationship and doesnt feel he has to make a lot of effort anymore. Which really you always have to make effort. Instead of going on about why he isnt doing anything, how about you initiate something. I dunno, plan a nice evening out, or go on holiday, have a nice night in, buy him a gift, just something. I always believe that you treat a person how you would like to be treated. So treat him how you want to. At the same time you need to talk to him about how you are feeling. Let him know that you dont want to lose him and you want to work on the relationship.

    Best of luck x

    Most "men" come out with overwhelming romance in the beginning. However; in most cases it's all smoke and mirrors to draw you in for selfish needs. If a person's personality changes dramatically with various groups, there is a insecurity issue and an inability to be ones self consistently. Large peaks and Valleys in ones behaviour suggests a problem with maturity, resentments, pain, and lack of conviction. Heads up, look closely at his father's behaviour toward his mom. That's what you can look forward to. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

    reap what you want to sow. when you give it reflects in the other person and hopefully multiplys. so buy him some fumnny socks, buy him flowers, he get the hint.... loadsa love to happen with you 2. i just think try a new approach, relationships lifes are like books, many chapters. this doesnt have to be the end, could be beggining of new adventure...

    He's bored of you but still loves you deep down inside. Maybe it's time to try new things in life.

    Maybe he's stressed and can't think about anything much. Talk
