The sweaty palms, the butterflies, the laughter of never before heard stories, the giddiness, the akward moments, the first kiss with a pounding heart, the dreams, plans, everything fresh and new. I wish that could last forever.

If you miss it, how long have you been single?
Those description you mentioned were true. When you are still new in the relationship, these centrifugal motion and perpetual bliss are the usual feelings we have. But sometimes during the relationship someone will stop being spontaneous and become too much relaxed with the relationship which is not good.

not being sexist here but women feel more butterflis and that than men yet they are normally the ones who forget what its like to have a laugh and they seem to forget and get really serious about everything when you need to be serious about important things but then have a laughwhen you can to keep things interestin

Well, relationships have different stages. There's a feeling of indescribable excitement especially at the getting-to-know-each-other stage. But for couples that have been together for a long time, I think it's a matter of injecting something new to make the relationship more exciting. We should make our partners fall in love with us over and over again. Some people tend to get complacent when they feel that the relationship is stable.But on the other hand, I love being in a long-term relationship, where you feel that sense of comfort and familiarity with each other. There's also that feeling of attachment with the other person.

Whilst I agree that the moment you realise you're actually in love is very special, I don't think it has to disappear as the relationship matures... It's not impossible to find ways to get that feeling back, and in fact I feel it quite often - even just sitting on the sofa, watching the darts (or whatever), sometimes I just feel overwhelmed with love, and start spouting gibberish.
