  1. Find whatever attracted you to him/her in the first place. Come on, there must be SOMETHING. Perhaps it’s the way he always holds the door open for you, or maybe it’s the way she laughs…just think way back to the first time you laid eyes on each other.
  2. Admit it: NO ONE is perfect. Even the hottest person alive has flaws of their own. Once you realize this, it’s less likely you will be annoyed/turned off by small imperfections. The rule is easy: always try to see the good, and acknowledge but don’t nag about the bad.
  3. Realize that love is absolutely not going to be like in your dreams, where everything works out in the end (unless you’re lucky). Ask yourself this: “What did you expect in this relationship, and, let’s face it, am I being realistic?”
  4. Know that love takes work. As a little kid, you might have thought of love as being a fantastical, dream-like experience. You pictured yourself looking into the eyes of your lover, and the rest being history. Well, if you haven’t already, you will figure out that this is not true. As fantastical and dream-like as love IS, you’ll discover that it takes WORK to be in a relationship. But just realize that it’s a small price to pay to have someone to love and love you back in your life.
  5. Try listening to songs you haven’t really heard since you first started falling in love. Even if it’s songs you never really listened to on your own, but were played a lot on the radio or by your friends during that time. If the music made you think of that special someone and you haven’t heard it in awhile. It will bring you back to the fluttery feelings you had. Make sure you think of something you haven’t heard in a long time.
  6. Revive old scents. The same goes with things like perfume you wore when you first started dating. You don’t necessarily have to start wearing it again, just smell it every now and then, but not too often.
  7. Try it with anything, movies, certain restaurants or houses you haven’t been to in a long time. Think of anything that has slipped your mind since the beginning. When you reunite your senses with certain tastes, sights or smells, you awake those same feelings, and it can not only help you “feel” more in love, but it might remind you of things you may have forgotten about your lover.
