I’m not sure I ever felt the butterflies for my current boyfriend. I’ve felt them in the past for another guy I dated, but I think it was just fear. Truth be told I was very nervous to scared to date him. He was way out of my league in the looks department, and so I always felt like I didn’t deserve him. But with my current boyfriend I never felt the butterflies, and I never felt afraid of him, I just always kinda felt safe and secure. At first I was worried that maybe that meant that I wasn’t actually in love with him, but now I think I was just very comfortable with him from the beginning. We’ve been together for three years and I’ve never been happier with anyone else.
@capricornhoney Just by all the chatting we've done over the many, many months and having got to know each other, I can honestly say that both you and James have an extremely loving and successful relationship already, which can and will grow into even a stronger marriage, complete with a beautiful family. Your future children will indeed be so very, very lucky and blessed in having you both as their parents.
@capricornhoney Thank you so much as well. I'm sure though it doesn't take me to tell you that it takes a lot of work, the main ingredient being communication followed by trust, loyalty and being 50/50. Our marriage is not perfect (is there such a thing?) but we're constantly striving to improve it every day.
@EmmaMary of course, I find the communication, trust and loyalty come almost naturally within the relationship so it makes it that bit easier. Of course no marriage is perfect, but as long as both people want it to work, I believe it can 😊

I chose “Other” because I’m not in a relationship currently. But my last relationship lasted about 3-4 years.
I still had butterfly’s in my stomach each time I saw her. And I’m sure she did as well. I think it’s important to “try”. Appreciate each moment, randomly make out with your partner and catch them off guard. Leave notes where your partner will find it during work.
It’s the little things that keep the positivity and vibe alive.
25 years , still like the day we met , i can't get enough of her , we never hold grudges , and if we argued, we said what we felt and moved on , work for a com. on goal , and never give up
My longest running relationships always seem to fizzle out on the guy's end once we reach close to the 3 year point of being together. Latest relationship, I ended things just last week and am still in the process of healing after learning he cheated while being away in another province for work during this pandemic. Then the previous relationship before that was due to him moving out of the country for school and work, and him feeling that our lives and where we saw eachother for the future weren't aligned... so bottom line, I've learned that distance ends things for my relationships and leaves me feeling more than ever insecure when apart.
I crave so much to be in a relationship where my love a d worth can be not taken for granted.
Been together for 3 years and still there. They don't happen all the time, especially if we're just getting on with the mundane of everyday life, like cooking, cleaning, working. But they're still there. If he puts on a spray and smells good/wears a suit I get butterflies. If he looks at me lustfully I 100% get them. Pretty sure he does too. If I give him a particularly good kiss he'll say it gave him butterflies.
Yeah, sometimes I still feel :D We're together for around 3 years now and there are some days that I get the butterfly feeling again :3 Like when we do some great program together (for instance travell somewhere or I make a great dish and we have a nice dinner and he is very greatful for it) and I feel fike falling in love again and that feeling is there after it for like a couple of days or so :3I love it.
Yeah, it's the little things. After he gets out of the shower and his hair is all messy and wet or when we're baking and he puts a drip of chocolate sauce on my nose, ghe cheeky little moments still fill me with butterflies :) And we've been together three years ✌
After a little over a year and a half, I'm used to being together and not in a state of shock like I was for a little while at first, but I still feel intense joy and comfort whenever I'm around her, so I went ahead and voted yes.
I still do, it’s not as much as it used to be because by now we’re very used to one another and things just feel more normal and natural than new and exciting but there are still things he’ll say or do that’ll cause the butterflies all over again.
I've been with my boyfriend over 4 years and I still get butterflies all the time. We're long distance but I don't think that changed that much for us.
I've been with my partner for almost 3 years now and I definetely still feel the butterflies. Everytime I receive a text from him, I still always smile and feel super happy no matter how shitty my day went. He truly makes me happy and I love him so much. I feel like I just love him more and more everyday. And everytime he gives me cute little compliments (which is almost everyday lol), I still get super shy and excited lol
I feel it fades but never goes away, my last relationship lasted 3 years and everytime we did something or whatnot I had butterflies with her, like just doing couple things. Around the house butterflies kinda faded
Yeah I can imagine they wouldn’t really be there when just doing every day things. As long as they’re there for couple things, I guess that’s most important!
They aren’t as intense and they aren’t the same nervous/embarrassed kind of butterflies like they used to be, but yeah. I still occasionally get like a subtle, pleasant tingling sensation in my chest when I think about him.
We’ve been together for over 6 years. They probably ‘faded’ after 2-3 years- right around the time our jobs/degrees made it unsustainable for us to spend 12 hours together on a daily basis doing nothing but drinking, watching movies, and messing around.

I've asked couples married for more than 40 years this question and 90% say yes ☺ ☺ it makes me smile hearing it
Its been over 2 years now and I feel happy and content when I look at him. We have our moments when he'd do something or say something sweet and unexpected and it makes me love him even more
