My relationship doesn't feel like a relationship?

After my previous relationship ended, I got back in contact with one of my exes. She has always said that she adores me, and that she loves me to death, and that she would do anything for me. So at midnight on Christmas day, I started a relationship with her. We broke up the first time on good terms, obviously. We only dated for a very brief time. But ever since we got back together, we barely talk. She is always busy, and when we do talk, it's usually pretty short. We have a great time when we do, but it's not as often as I would like. We currently live in different cities, but have decided to move to San Francisco next year. I believe this will help things immensely, but for all that she said when we weren't together, I am a bit disappointed that we don't even seem to be in a relationship. It doesn't feel like we are! I am completely lost here. I honestly am very attracted to her and she is an amazing girl, and she says I am an amazing guy, but... I don't know... Maybe the move will help, but I don't think it should have to. My previous relationship was long-distance, and it lasted for over a year and we were very happy. What do you think? Maybe she only wanted what she couldn't have? Maybe my previous relationship ending badly has affected me in a way that I am no longer good at long-distance? I am searching for any answer as to why this relationship doesn't feel real to me. Thank you so much in advance, God bless you all.

    Because long distant relationships rarely work. You say your previous lasted for about a year, but it ended.

    Your current relationship also ended and now on the rebound. However you have to ask yourself why both relationships ended in the first place. Neither mentioned in your above story. Something is not working and it could be your view of intimacy. Do you feel more comfortable being 'out of the room' where a relationship is concerned? Moving might help to show you mean business this time, but perhaps you should withdraw from this and try to work out why you feel more comfortable with a LDR then the alternative. Start with a spoken sentence with the the words 'I feel ...' Women might first accept an LDR but they certainly won't live with it, as you may have learnt.

    I'm sorry but what you have is not a relationship. It's a friends with benefits at best. You sound like a good guy and I'm sure you'll find someone who's in love with you. Good luck.
