When I'm with my boyfriend I don't feel butterflies, and I've only felt them with my very first boyfriend but I've had four since him. Is something wrong with me?

betty backstabber  agony auntit depends how long you've been with him. you don't always have to feel butterflies towards somebody your in a relationship with, usually when they stop its because the feelings are growing stronger than that initial infatuation you have towards somebody, and also the older you get and the more relationships you have the less exciting it sort of gets until you meet that one that is like your 'one and only' then you'll know about it, but you have plenty of years for that.

You'll have felt it with your first boyfriend because it was a whole new experience and it was all exciting and new to you but after that everything's been done before and you know most the time what to expect. Try injecting a little fun into the relationship, or as the girl below suggested take some time apart from each other so then when you do meet or talk it will all become exciting again and you'll have lots of catching up to do!

hope this helped :)

Lilmisstier00 agony auntIf you guys have been together for over 6 months or something like that then maybe you're just slowly getting VERY used to eachother. Almost like taking each other for granted. If you guys spend alot of time together, try spending more time apart. It might not sound good and like much fun but trust me it works. Or if you guys talk alot, try not to talk so much. Once again it may sound bad, but it works out. Because once you finally do talk or see eachother you wont be used to talking all day or something before that. I've been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years. We went thru the same kinda stage. If what i said does not work though, then maybe there is a problem & if you continue to feel this way you need to let him know. It may hurt him and you may not wanna be the one to say it, but he needs to know.

Hope that helps a little :)
