It's been a long time coming.
It's been so long that I can't even remember who introduced us, most likely a friend of a friend, or even a casual acquaintance that I probably no longer keep in touch with. At first I was completely enchanted by you. I was a bit shy (still am), so I didn't speak much, just listened and learned and laughed.

You introduced me to some new friends, and I was endlessly entertained, sometimes to the point of laughing so hard my stomach would ache for days.

I didn't notice when the shine started to disappear. We were drifting apart, and I admit I was slowly, bit by bit, paying a lot less attention than I had in the beginning. It finally got to the point where I didn't even see you anymore, just popped in once a week to find out anything important. I don't think you even noticed I wasn't around.

It wasn't just me though. You slowly started to have less and less to say. The stories you told were beginning to sound like the stories you told before, with a thin coat of difference. Not enough to fool anybody, but it seemed to fool yourself. It got to the point where you weren't even trying to change them anymore, just saying "Remember that story I told way back then? Yeah. That." and that was the end of it. You barely brought forth a chuckle anymore, and nothing like the full belly laughs you used to give me.

But I'm still trying. I think our relationship can be saved. I'm begging, qotw. Please. We've both got to try to make this work.

Been here
You need to spend MORE time together, and make new things to talk about. Do stuff together, something new. Take up fencing, or a dance class, and make sure when you're not together you're busy so you have new things to talk about. It's not a lost cause but you need to shake things up and don't get "comfortable" else you'll lose the excitement.

Try...
Fetish clubbing. Bring out your kinky side, or failing that, laugh at some of the poor tragic cases which turn up mashed on drugs!

Anyone else think
the above replies have missed the joke?

Nice work, Lady D. Personally I still have quite a good relationship with QOTW, but I'm an undemanding sort.
