Been together a year and a half.
At the beginning we were very flirty. He’d say things to me like “I’m crazy attracted to you 😫” and “you’re honestly so attractive”. Texts were quite vulgar haha and lots of dirty talk.
Nowadays, we do have regular sex and we are intimate with cuddling, holding hands etc. He will sometimes rub my hips or slap my bum (lol - I’m completely fine with this) when walking past.
However, flirting just feels a bit wooden now?
I sent him a picture of me at work wearing his favourite dress of mine (quite figure hugging). He said “I love that! 🥰”
I called him at lunch to let him know about plans for later, and then I said I’m not coming home first. I said I wish I could, and I said maybe I’ll keep this dress on for later, flirting. He said “you can do whatever you want!” I said “yeah maybe you can take it off for me” and he said “yes please!” I asked why and he said awkwardly “well I like seeing you naked!” And then changed the subject.
I find that nowadays, rather than saying things similar to what he used to say, he’s more ‘cutesy’. If I offer sex or anything, he said “yes please!” In a cutesy tone. If I say he’s attractive or fit, he’ll simply say “you’re so attractive too”. He won’t often say it first but if he does it just sounds more awkward?
After sex he’ll say “that was amazing!” And that’s it. He doesn’t talk during it.
i don’t know if any of this is making sense. He’s still so lovely to me and we are affectionate and he looks after me. However I just worry maybe that initial attraction isn’t there and he’ll look somewhere else?
I’ve asked similar before and he told me I’m being silly and of course he finds me just as attractive.
Is it worth bringing up as an issue or am I wasting my time?
