I've been dating a girl for 4 months. This are going great and we are both really into it. My biggest concern is I know it's early and we are still in the "hunnymoon" stage of the relationship.

Any ideas on how to make the transition in the next few months to normal life?

Just keep it up and do more of the same. Who said the hunnymoon ever has to end? I'm just as enamored and smitten now by my SO as I was when we first started seeing each other 15+ years ago. Some people don't believe there is "the one", but I disagree and perhaps you should too because you may have just found her.

In my experience, it just happens as you grow more comfortable and relaxed with each other, there's nothing you need to do, other than enjoy it.

I was about to ask the same thing.

Do you eat her putty regularly?

The transition is a natural growth, But I would suggest continuously treating her like gold if you are already doing so. Be supportive when it is needed, Have conversations regularly, Tend to her needs maybe cooking for her, Feeding the dog/cat/ferret or just bringing her an ice cold Schlitz malt liquor from the store. It's the little things that show a lot usually.

Do you want to make the transition now or prolong the high? Or are you worried you won't be able to cope if things feel more normal?

Burp. Fart. Wear baseball hats on dates. Don't shave on date night. Slap her arse and tell her to get you a beer. Roll over and fall asleep after sex. Get into a rut with doing the same thing for every date. Start taking fishing trips with the guys twice a month. Ask her if you can borrow $20. Then you'll transition, all right.

Seriously, what's the rush toward feeling like an old shoe? Are you afraid there's nothing else there? Enjoy this part of your relationship. For all you know, it could last a good long time.

P.S. Even when the honeymoon ends, please don't take anyone for granted.

You got it wrong, it's a Corona from the store. No self respecting woman drinks Schlitz. And if you have to do malt liquor, it's Olde English, kicking it old school. Please remember to bring some home, thanks.

I say why should the honeymoon phase end? If things are going well, then be happy with that. I've had relationships where I wanted to choke the person by the 4th month. Be glad it's working out, and go with it.

The problem with some relationships is that people get too comfortable and then start taking each other for granted, or expecting things. Always respect your partner and treat them the way you would want to be treated at all times. Even after you've been together for a while, still say thank you, please and appreciate what you have. Because if you don't, someone else surely will.

For the record, the BF and I are going on 10 months soon and it still feels like the beginning.

lol....just don't tell her yet the $20 is for the nudey bar, that might be a little too much transition to soon.
