So I'm curious about how to keep attraction high over an extended period of time.
To give some background, I took a girl out on a date about 2 months ago and at the end we went back to my place and made out. While we were making out she said that clothes had to stay on etc. so I didn't really try much to push things past that. She's a virgin, and never done anything but make out, I've messed around but never had sex either. But that's another topic. I go to a college that is in a pretty religious area, so not having sex is more normal than having it. I've recently been screening for girls who will make out and mess around, I haven't been screening for more liberal girls who will have sex, that's just where I'm at right now.
Anyway, after we made out we were talking and I let her know I wasn't really one to rush into anything. (I didn't really want a relationship as I was going out with a couple other girls then as well). She said she was real slow that way, so it was fine. Since then we have been on mutliple dates and kissed more etc, nothing past that though, and I know I need to work on that.
At the start it was really great, we kissed a lot and it was really passionate, we could tell we liked each other but we weren't together. When we texted it was fun and flirtatious. But I don't really like texting a whole lot so I don't text her that much anymore, (I prefer to talk and spend time in person) and the texting isn't really flirty anymore. It seems like now, to be more of a game to see who can be less invested. And judging by her reactions etc the attraction isn't as high as it used to be, also for me I'm losing attraction for her as well.
It isn't terrible but its waining and I'd like to know how to stop the trend from continuing.
Was it just a honeymoon stage that was going on? How can you keep attraction high over an extended period of time? Also more importantly how can you do it without putting the girl into auto-rejection?
