Falling in love again

Something really weird has happened. Basically, I have been with my boyfriend for 3 months now, although we're really close and love each other very much because we were best mates before we went out with each other. I was with my ex (who I had been with for 14 months) when I first met my boyfriend, and tried to remain with my ex, however things got really bad between us and I realised that I wasn't just attracted to my best mate; I loved him. When my ex and I split up, me and my best mate got together and I am really happy about the fact that I can finally tell him how I feel. We said "I love you" after one day 'together' (bear in mind that we had been best mates for months so had loved each other platonically anyway) and I genuinely do love him, more so than my ex (I did love him, but the love was an unhealthy and selfish one from both sides, whereas with my boyfriend it's about helping each other.) Ok, I'll get to the point. All of a sudden, I feel completely and utterly in love with my boyfriend. I was before, but all of a sudden I feel like I'm falling in love with him - even though I already have. My feelings towards him seem to have multiplied by hundreds. I really don't get what's going on, and he seems to find all the extra kisses he's getting very funny! I just wonder why, all of a sudden, am I feeling like this?

I'd guess it's because you're finding out so much more about him in a bf way - there's more to love. As just friends you don't appreciate all the little things about him that make him so adorable, so once you're an actual item, it's a whole new ballgame and you're at the beginning.

Just enjoy it...I'm sure he is!!

You can love someone without being in love with them. Maybe when you first got together it was just that you loved him (love + fancy = good love...but not necessarily in love if you see what i mean) and now given the time together in a bf and gf capacity you are actually in love with him.

I fell in love again with my gf recently. She's been on holiday the past week. I talked to her every now and then and hearing her voice always brought a smile to my face. I also fully realized the depth of her feelings for me...so yeah, fell in love with her again. As others have said it could be cos you're learning new things about him and/or realizing how much he really means to you.

She's coming back today :biggrin:

Aww, reading that made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! So cute! It's completely normal, you're just getting to know him even more than before. It's such a good feeling, make the most of it! :smile:
