That giddy, gushy feeling ("butterflies") is infatuation and fades with time, yes. Sometimes there is real love underneath, but sometimes not.

Feeling happy and wanting to be near a person can be part of loving feelings. If the love is real, those feelings will not fade.

That sounds right. The butterflies should fade as confidence in the relationship grows - or dies. But pleasure at seeing your S.O. should persist.

If butterflies persist beyond a few months, you may be experiencing GI tract issues.

No that feeling doesn't last forever but you may find that it pops up sometimes throughout your relationship. The 24/7 can lead to getting tired in the relationship and losing those feelings early. It's nothing to break things off for so don't worry.

You want stress forever?!

There is one thing in common to all the vast number of possible triggers for butterflies: stress. Whether it’s the scary stress of an exam, interview or presentation, or whether it’s the excited, positive stress of talking to someone you like, the excitement of a first kiss, or the thrill of riding on a rollercoaster, it is nonetheless stress, and the body reacts to both positive and negative stress in very similar ways.

Butterflies? No, not forever. However, if there is a deeper love there, you will still look forward to seeing them!

I have known my fiance 2 years. I would say that I am past any butterflies (for the most part). We see each other daily and know it will happen. So no butterflies anymore (although on occasion if we have something special planned maybe there are).

That said, seeing her is always one of the highlights of my day too! There is not a day where I do not look forward to some time with her, whether it is 5 hours of 5 minutes, or whether we are going to go on a romantic date, or get some chores done.

Yes, they can last as long as nature indended them to last. A finite relationship that is only filled with pleasure is much better than a long, never ending abuse filled relationship!

Only until reality hits you and you realize that your partner has faults (that are not gonna change) and relationships take real work.

Unfortunately, the butterflies aren't permanent.. but when they are, those couples stay together for years and years
