I can totally relate, man. I’m in a similar situation with a girl I’m seeing overseas, and it’s like you’re describing my life. The first night we meet up? Unreal. But after that, things level out. I used to let it bother me, wondering if it meant something was wrong with us. Turns out, it’s completely normal.
Your body and brain are doing exactly what they’re supposed to. When you’re apart, the build-up of excitement creates this huge surge of dopamine, which makes that first encounter feel incredible. But once that’s satisfied, your brain levels out, and the intensity naturally fades a bit. It doesn’t mean anything is wrong; it just means you’re adjusting to being together again.
One thing I’ve found helpful is to focus on the emotional connection. Spend time doing things that strengthen your bond, whether it’s talking about your future, sharing experiences, or just laughing together. That emotional intimacy often brings back the spark in ways you wouldn’t expect. Plus, it makes the physical connection even better.
And hey, don’t forget to be kind to yourself. Long-distance relationships are hard, but they can also be incredibly rewarding. The fact that you’re even thinking about this shows how much you care about her. Keep communicating and keep things fun—you’re on the right track.
