| Yeah I used to be quite put off by hugging people...I mean, physical contact doesn't bother me, but I'm pretty reserved when it comes to intimacy with people outside of my personal zone. |

| I'm hardly as extreme as Akridot, but sometimes have a tendency to think of physical contact as uncomfortable or awkward. Hugging doesn't really seem very natural to me. I guess it's just a manifestation of my introverted personality. |

Anybody been in a relationship where your gf / bf has been uninterested in sex for a long time (2+ months)? I'm not talking about things that might physically prevent them from having sex like pregnancy or illness or infection, but just lack of interest for no obvious reason.
What did / would you do?
And if the person basically refused to talk with you about why they were uninterested and how that might be changed, what would you do then?
:conf: |

That sounds like a bad case of infidelity. Not to scare you, but if she doesn't want to talk about it, something is definitely not right.
I'm not too sure I could continue to be in a relationship where such a critical part of a relationship is missing. I mean, fair enough if something is going on and there's a good reason for it, I'm an understanding person but if she refuses to talk about it with her partner for a few months? Yea....not too good. |

I've considered it.
Last night she went out for two hours at a pub with a guy she used to date.
I was going to complain about it, but I didn't want to deal with the storm about "lack of trust" that would probably follow, and likely further decrease my chances of having sex anytime soon...
Ugh. |

if i wake up in the middle of the night and realize Sasha (my kitty) is not snuggled up next to me, i get really uneasy and find it hard to fall back asleep. sometimes i'll even get out of bed and go find him and bring him back with me. he's been a snuggler ever since he was a kitten, and almost every night i'll wake up to him burrowing his little nose under the covers so he can curl up in my arms. it's ridiculous the way he cuddles sometimes... like he actually forces me to spoon him and throws himself onto my face/neck/shoulder/chest area to be close to my heartbeat.
i love it. :D |

That happened to my best friend. The cause was really awkward: her girlfriend went on a diet, her hormones went crazy and she just didn't want to have sex any more. They talked about it, and she said that she loved him but for some reason she just couldn't get in the mood. She also started having all sorts of mood swings and whatnot, and she then mentioned this to her nutritionist.
Once she went back to her old diet, they mated like rabbits :p

Yeah, that's pretty much how I am. |

Maybe it's that lack of drive, assertiveness and aggressiveness from you that made her lose her attraction?
Once again, I have no details and in no way know your story, but that's the general thing that pops into my head. |

This definitely sounds like she may be losing interest. Once it falls under the point of no return, it won't take long and she will probably break up with you, so you should act quickly and try to save as much as you can.
Less talking, more action. If there are any things you know she dislikes about you, don't do them. Try to be (or at least appear) busy all the time, try to work more on your inaccessibility. If you're that 'nice guy', who always asks her for permission, stop that. Be confident in your decisions. Try not to care about her as much as you're used to.
Believe me, the more she knows, you're the one who will always be waiting for her, the less attractive you are. |

It depends. I find that I hate physical contact more than I like it. I mean, with the right person it's nice but seriously... what is up with guys hugging me. NEWSFLASH: Not all women think that hugging is the only appropriate way to say "hello." |
I've wondered about that as well. It used to make me want to punch this one horndog in highschool because he did it to EVERY FREAKING GIRL.
I definitely enjoy physical contact, but for the most part keep it light. So many people are quick to have sex, and go all the way so early. I like to keep things constantly building so contact doesn't peak too fast. I didn't kiss my last girlfriend in 2+ months, but we did other stuff that felt just as great. I've always been confused society's requisite of contact. |
