The more time you spend with someone, the more needs of theirs that you met, the more they will like you. Your friends and family already like you and so you focus on the new person.... It's a problem with dating, you really are trying to put your best foot forward. The trouble is that once you're married, the guy usually stops. No more undivided attention for hours and days upon days... Dating sets us up for this situation. It's best to get to know someone in groups or in a family setting...

I think people tend to get caught up in that "new love" euphoric feeling!

Your friends don't give you butterflies, the way a potential lover does. Butterflies trump gossip sessions and golf outings.

It is the natural course of things. When you are single, your friends are the most important thing and you spend a lot of time with them. When you get involved in a relationship, that importance shifts, and shifts even more when you get married and have kids. You realize that friends are not all that important compared to a spouse and kids. ALso, there is only so much time in a day to work, take care of the house, spend time with the wife and kids, and once in awhile see a friend. If you spend more time with friends thatn a spouse or kids, you have it twisted.

Yes. I get very wrapped up with my new "love" and spend every moment I can with that person. It usually wears off in a couple of months. That's when the newness wears off and we become accustomed to each other and begin to let other people in.

I really hate when people do this. I know that dating someone makes you want to be with them all the time and you're really happy with them.. but you can't forget about the ones who were there for you all along! I'm not bitter or anything. lol
