You know my favorite part of dating someone is the fun part of a new relationship when you are treating each other like a new toy. It is basically the honeymoon phase of a dating relationship. Everything they do is amaaazing and soooo impressive. You can’t keep your hands off of them, and can’t get enough of them.

That does not last forever, things eventually cool off and you start to see your mate as they really are – flaws and all. This is a key point in a relationship that can make or break it. Whether you reach the next level of committment can come down to how you handle the cooling off phase.

When things cool off, that doesn’t necessarily mean the magic is gone. It means things level off to a normal, real life relationship. Some people choose to bail out and go seek out the “magic” with someone else and repeat the process all over again!

How do you handle it when things get less exciting and the novelty has worn off? Does maturity play a role?

Have you ever ended things because things cooled off too much?

How do you keep a new relationship hot and interesting?
