being bored in a new relationship

hey

today is my one week anniversaire with my new bf, we've been on and off since june. since we've been actually going out, i feel like my relationship with him has changoed, like there is pressure and some feelings of boredom. sometimes when i'm with him i do feel bored, and so does he. we've mentioned it to each other a couple times now, since the beginningo of the week. i guess earlier because we were vying for each other's affections i didn't really think abot it. so far we haven't really thought abot ending the relationship. maybe we're spending too much time with each other?

but does this happen in the beginning of most peoples relationships?

A one week anniversary? Ha. And no, this doesn't usually happen after less that a week of going out with someone...

Wow. You have a one week anniversary? But anyway, you shouldn't really be bored yet, unless you spend every waking moment together.. Perhaps before it was the thrill of the chase and now you're together you don't really know what to do.

no, i was just joking around, i just wanted to mention we've only been going out for a week. but it's felt ike aaaages. i think i've seen him every day apart from one so far and we text etc when were not together.

but prior to us going out we still used to spk to each other every day, it would feel weird if we didn't but only see each other maybe once a week. is it really that bad, feeling like this?!?!!? eeek

Why not try being apart for a bit? If you're constantly together you're probably not appreciating your relationship as much.. When I don't see my boyfriend I try not to call/text (unless I really miss him!) and then the next time we meet up there's plenty to talk about and we enjoy each others company more etc.

Do some more unusual things in the bedroom, that's always a good place to start. Try positions/fantasies etc.

no, can't do that, because i'm making him wait a while for sex.

the only idea i can think of is making our dates more exciting, cos they only consist of eating out really and staying at each others houses and talking.

me thinks it may be a good start to liven them up a bit - maybe some flrtacious comments & some fun games etc.

Sorry but in all honestly this relationship seems (in nice) doomed. I thought a new relationship was mean't to be exciting :s-smilie: How after one week it can get boring is beyond belief lol. My only conclusion is that this guy wasn;t what you seemed him to be, therefore probably isn't the right guy for you.

Edit I know that I couldn't get enough of my boyfriend at the beginning. Come to think I still can't lol *why am I here cya all soon :p:*

and it hasn't really been one week. it's only been officially one week. in reality it's been, hmm, a month then a break for summer, then another month kind of.

Go to the movies, go iceskating, go bowling, go talk in a park instead of at home, go somewhere, change the scene. Do something he likes, do something you like. Relationships dont always come freely, sometimes you have to work for them a bit.

Why? No wonder you're bored.

Well if all that bores you then why are you with him?

This really comes down to what you want from a relationship. Do you even know what you want?

When you work it out, then work towards it!! If you want some guy on a motorbike to whisk you away, you might have to look for a new man :wink:

Were there breaks because you were bored back then? Sorry to assume. But still being bored after only a few months is short lived. People tend to get "bored" after a year or so.
