a new relationship, it would be a sell out the world over.

Can anyone think of a better feeling than that butterflies in stomach, walking on air, head in the clouds sensation?

Apologises for name change but didn't want to be judged, just after opinions

I agree, nicky. Also a waste of time, IME. I wasted so much time and energy on that new relationship stuff.

No, thanks.

Oh blimey no! I associate the start of a relationship with anxiety and feeling worried and all that do-they-like-me-as-much-as-I-like-them-aaargh-ism

I like this old-farts-sitting-around-relaxed-together stage, personally.

but you are not having a new relationship expatinscotland, just the lovely feeling that comes with it. Surely you'd like that?

I do as well, nicky. It suits my lazy arse nature, too.

If something were to happen to DH, I honestly just couldn't be arsed to date again.

I really couldn't.

Been there, done that.

No, I never found that feeling lovely, Keep, because for me, it was usually a false feeling in the long run.

uuurrgrgggg nope. much rather the warmth comfort and security of a long term thing. the only bit thats fun after a few months is sex but at first even that can be hit and miss. nope give me long term any day.

I want that feeling of buzzing when you've had a few glasses of wine, but before you have too much and are just drunk.

Now that kind of pill I'd pay money for.

Yes Frumpy, I love that feeling too. I still get it now after many long years of marriage. It's lovely to remember a moment from the night before and get that feeling in your tummy! Especially if the moment you're remembering is one that was unexpected (you know, that kiss on the back of your neck when he gets home from work,and when he says he's just going to get changed and have a lie down and would you like to go with him!At six o'clock when you should be cooking dinner). Oh yes, a great feeling, but I wouldn't like to take a pill to get it, because I love what starts those feelings far too much!
