Question for the guys. by Sehmket2002-06-03 21:05:13

So he is not being distant, he simply isn't doing those little things that make you feel all tingly and special.

The problem is, after a guy finally 'conquers' a woman, he will begin to slack off. He no longer feels he needs to do the little things. It's just like when you first start a job, and are the perfect employee, but as time goes by, you realize how much you can slack off. The fact is you realize that you can reap the same benefits with less work.

Now for some possible solutions to this problem:

1) Don't give him the benefits of the relationship if he doesn't give you the benefits in return. Not recommended unless you like being remembered as "the manipulative b****."

2) Give him something to shoot for in the relationship so he feels he has to start working at it again. This can be done by reminding him there is a next level to achieve in the relationship (using the job analogy, dangle a promotion).

3) Dump him for a guy that does the little things not because it is his "job", but because he likes seeing you happy.

4) Take a break as previously mentioned.

These are just my suggestions, and as I don't know the guy, I can't compensate for his personality, emotional availabilty, social intelligence, or intentions.
