			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the first days and weeks of <a title="dating and courtship" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/category/dating-tips/">dating and courtship</a>, everything is exciting, exhilarating, rosy, and wonderful. Ah, the joys of lust and the magical infatuation phase of a <a title="relationship advice" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/category/relationship-advice/">new relationship</a>. </p>
<p>But then after a while, sometimes just a short while, many people (yes, both men and women) let themselves get comfortable and stop trying so hard. The new relationship is now &#8217;set in stone&#8217;, and they assume it&#8217;s a given they&#8217;ll still have that new partner tomorrow.</p>
<p>After months of surprises, flowers, chocolates, and romantic candlelit dinners, it&#8217;s hard to see all that end so abruptly. Not only that, but you want the romance to blossom and grow, not just to continue as it was!</p>
<p>For whatever reason, men tend to be particularly bad about this &#8211;  taking their new girlfriend (and yes, especially their wife) for  granted. What&#8217;s even worse is that concerns  or complaints about the change in attitude and behavior are  typically met with defensive and resentful responses, if they don&#8217;t fall on deaf ears all together.</p>
<p>You had a great thing and don&#8217;t want to <a title="break up" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/category/break-up-and-divorce/">break up</a>&#8230; but what do you do?&nbsp;</p>
<p>What can you do to make him treat you like he used to &#8211; to bring the romance back into your relationship?  </p>
<p>Here are our thoughts on this topic. Be sure to read the question, then watch the video and leave your thoughts below.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the full story&#8230;&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote style="margin-right: 0px" dir="ltr"><p>Dear Dan and Jennifer,</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve only been together for 4 months and I&#8217;m noticing that my boyfriend isn&#8217;t doing certain things that he use to do and I&#8217;ve mentioned it to him a few times but he hasn&#8217;t come around. All he says is &quot;sorry&quot; and &quot;I hear you&quot;. </p>
<p>I spoil him (Cook, clean, rub his back) which I enjoy doing because I love to see him happy but then again I don&#8217;t want to get the short end of the stick either. </p>
<p>I wonder if I should take a step back, but then I don&#8217;t want to push him away and make him think that I don&#8217;t want him. He is used to dating women that need materialistic things and he feels that as long as he provides me with those things that I should be happy. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve explained to him that I make my own money and I can provide for myself, what I need is a man that adores me and cuddles and says sweet things in my ear. </p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong he is a good guy, but I want to nip this in the rear before it gets out of control. Please Help!!!</p>
<p>- Angelina</p>
