If the feeling is gone ...

Today, let's talk about ways to revive a relationship that's gotten routine.

We've all been there. You date someone for a year or so, and you're happy with them. But somehow the spark has just fizzled out of things. Maybe it's not exciting anymore. Maybe you just don't know where the relationship is going; you're in a holding pattern.

Or maybe you're going through a dry spell, where you share a bed with someone most nights, but the only thing you're doing in that bed is sleeping.

I've been in a few relationships where the excitement just fades away after the first few months. The guy might be great, and I might love being with him, but the relationship has become more like a really close friendship than any sort of romance. With some relationships, I've been able to revive things; others just can't be saved.

Have you been in relationships that lost their sizzle? What happened? And what are your suggestions for putting the spice back into a relationship that's gotten a little stale?

I heard that a few shots of tequila works.

Run like hell, that's my advice.

Lacking sparks, the fire is gone - so just let it smolder.

Fortunately, that creates a smokescreen sure to protect you in your future endeavors and travels.
