She Misses 'The Chase'

[A-Man2151]

Yesterday, my girlfriend went out to the bar with all of her friends (a few of them happen to be friends of mine as well), and I wasn't able to attend. One of my friends' boyfriends' had brought some of his friends with him, and one of them apparently started taking a liking to my girlfriend and bought her a few drinks or whatever. She was very honest with me, asking me if I minded if another guy was buying her drinks, and I was cool with that...(she told him she was taken)...a free drink is a free drink. I have told her many times that I have complete trust in her until she gives me a reason not to...and she is very faithful, so I wasn't worried about some guy buying her a few drinks. Everything ended up going fine...she even told me that even if she was single, she would have no interest in the guy. But the main point I'm trying to make is the thing we talked about next. We started talking about what it was like when we used to be single...I think the fact that she went out to the bar without me kinda reminded her of her days when I wasn't with her (8 months ago). She said how she sometimes thinks about the days when she was single, and how she used to love 'The Chase' when she would go to parties, and the challenges of flirting with guys, and getting them to talk to her, etc... She is by no means a *****...she never was anything like that...she just used to be a flirt when she was single, and I think this event at the bar reminded her of those days. She immediately followed it by saying that she loves me more than anything, and would never trade our relationship simply to be Chased/Chase other guys. She noted how that when we first started talking, how fun it was to flirt with each other because we knew we both liked each other, and do all that other gay stuff that new couples do. We are both very in love, and that 'Chase' feeling obviously isn't as relevant as it was months ago. How do I go about giving her that feeling again? That even though we are a serious couple, we can still have that feeling like we're still trying to pursue each other every once in awhile?

It sounds like she's losing interest because you're not a challenge OR you're becoming boring. I could be wrong, though.

I think what this girl is experiencing isn't the loss of the "chase" per se, what she's probably mistakenly referring to is that initial eurphoria a couple gets when they are falling in love is now wearing thin. It last longer for some than others. That gaga rush feeling at the beginning doesn't last forever. Some people think that if that feeling goes away, something must have gone wrong. But nothing is further from the truth. That feeling is produced by chemicals in your brain induced by stimuli. Google "Oxytocin" It's a powerful drug created by your own body. Like any drug, after repeated exposure, it's effects wear thin. A mature woman with experience will realize that for what it is, those feelings of high will eventually be replaced by something more mature, genuine love and selfless devotion. An immature woman will assume something is wrong, dump you and look for another guy to enduce those chemicals in her brain once again. Rinse and repeat 1 year later when she's bored of that guy, and repeat the process till she matures enough to appreciate a good thing.
