1. Every Small Thing He Does Gets on Your Nerves
Does every, single, small, tiny thing that he does get on your nerves? Even when he is just trying to have a conversation with you? This is the first sign you are not attracted to your boyfriend anymore. It's hard to admit, especially if you've been together a long time, but attraction can fade away, if you let it.
***
When every little habit—from the way he chews his food to the manner in which he laughs—starts to grate on you, it's a telltale sign that the spark has dimmed. You may find yourself irritable and impatient over behaviors that once seemed charming or insignificant. Such heightened sensitivity often highlights a deeper disconnect; a sign that your emotional interest is waning, and the qualities you used to adore no longer seem endearing. Recognizing these feelings is crucial in addressing the underlying issues within the relationship.
2. You Can't Remember the Reason Why You Thought He Was Attractive
Why did you think that your boyfriend was attractive in the first place? This is where you can start to figure out why you are not attracted to your boyfriend anymore. Do you still remember that reason? Do you still think about it? Did you find his smile attractive? Did you find his personality attractive? What do you think of him now? These are important questions that you'll want to take into consideration!

Absolutely! Relationships have their ebbs and flows. Sometimes external factors like stress, health issues, or even routine can affect your attraction levels. It's normal, but ongoing issues might need a closer look.
Trying new activities together, open communication about your feelings, and focusing on the positive aspects of your partner can help. Sometimes, spending some time apart to miss each other might reignite the spark.
If you've tried addressing the issues yourselves and nothing seems to improve, or if there's a significant emotional distance between you two, seeking help from a therapist or counselor can provide guidance and support.
3. You Constantly Check out Other Guys
Girls, it's normal for you to check out other guys and compare, but just a little bit. If you are constantly finding yourself checking out other guys and constantly finding yourself attracted to other guys, that could mean that you are not attracted to your boyfriend any longer.
***
It's normal for girls to be curious about other guys, but if you find yourself constantly checking out other guys and feeling attracted to them, it may be a sign that you're no longer attracted to your boyfriend. It could also be a sign that you're not satisfied with your current relationship, or that your feelings for your boyfriend have changed.
It's important to take the time to think about why you're feeling this way and to talk to your boyfriend about it. Communication is key to any successful relationship, and it's important to be honest with each other. If you're not sure why you're feeling this way, it could be helpful to talk to a trusted friend or family member to get a different perspective.
It's also important to remember that attraction is not the only thing that makes a relationship work. You need to have a connection with your partner, and there should be mutual respect, trust, and understanding. If you find that you don't have these things in your relationship, it's important to address the issues and work on them together.
4. You Don't Miss Him
Do you remember the days in your relationship - probably early on - when you actually missed each other? Do you remember what it was like to actually miss him throughout the day when you didn't talk or see him? Well girls, that could be one of the signs you are not attracted to your boyfriend anymore.
***
If the excitement has fizzled and you're finding yourself indifferent to his absence, it's a significant red flag. Remember the butterflies you felt waiting for his calls or texts? If now, those moments pass by unnoticed and your heart no longer skips a beat, your emotional connection might be waning. When the thought of him doesn't brighten your day or you'd rather spend your time with friends or even alone, it's time to reflect on your feelings. True attraction includes a desire to share moments and create memories, so a lack of longing could speak volumes about your attraction.
5. When He Talks, He Annoys You
Let's say that you are just surfing the Internet and your boyfriend is trying to have a good conversation with you – and it annoys you to no end. Whenever your boyfriend opens up his mouth to speak at all, you find yourself rolling your eyes and looking for any excuse to shut him up. Ladies, that's another sign you are not attracted to your boyfriend anymore.
***
You might even catch yourself interrupting him or finishing his sentences just so he'd stop talking. And when he's telling you about his day, or sharing his feelings, it's like there's a glass wall between you. You're there, but not really listening. It's a disheartening realization when his voice, once music to your ears, now sounds like nails on a chalkboard. If the mere sound of his voice is enough to make you want to put on headphones and blast music, it's a red flag waving high. You need to ask yourself why his words no longer resonate with you.
6. You're Jealous of Your Girlfriend's Boyfriends
Do your girlfriends have boyfriends that you would kill to have? Do your girlfriends constantly brag about their boyfriends and how great they are? Being jealous of how great your girlfriend's boyfriends are can be a sign that you are no longer attracted to your boyfriend. You should be making other people jealous of your boyfriend, not being jealous of other peoples boyfriends.
7. You Hate His Clothes
While there are some things that you can tolerate, if you cannot stand his clothes, if you can not stand anything about his wardrobe, that's a problem. You want your boyfriend to look good, but if you can't find anything at all in the world that looks good on him, that could be a sign that you just aren't attracted to him.
8. You Think Everything He Says is Stupid
While I may have mentioned that he could annoy you when he talks, but do you honestly think that every single thing that he says is stupid? Do you think that every opinion that he states is something you'd never think of? Girls, if it goes beyond annoyance and actually shifts into you thinking that he is stupid, that is one sign you are not attracted to your boyfriend anymore.
9. His Personality No Longer Appeals to You
When you first started dating, did you love his personality? Did you think that he was the bees knees? Now, not so much? Do you think that his jokes are dumb and that you wish he was completely different? Girls, that's the definition of not being attracted to your boyfriend.
10. Hooking up with Him Sounds Tiring
If you really don't want to kiss your boyfriend, or do anything else, then you're really not attracted to your boyfriend anymore. The idea of kissing your boyfriend should be exciting and give you those butterflies in your stomach, not make you feel obligated or like you're doing a job.
11. You Don't Care when He Goes out
If he goes out without you, instead of being bummed that you can't spend that time with him, you don't care do you? If this is true for you, you probably aren't attracted to him anymore. If you feel happy that he's out without you because that means that not only do you have to see him, but you also get to go out on your own, there's probably something not right.
12. He Doesn't Take Your Breath Away
When you see your boyfriend, no matter how long you've been with him, he should take your breath away. Do you remember the butterflies you used to get every time you saw him? What about when he took your breath away at just the sight of him? If that's not happening anymore, there's a problem.
***
It's natural for the intensity of the initial stages of your relationship to simmer down with time. However, if the passion has cooled off to the point where you no longer feel excited when he walks into the room, it might be a sign that your attraction is waning. Those electric moments of anticipation and desire should still occur now and then. If they've become distant memories, it's worth asking yourself why the spark isn't igniting like it used to.
13. You Hate the Way He Smells
You remember that cologne that used to always put a smile on your face? If it starts to turn your stomach, then you're in for a bad time. You should love the way he smells and think of him every time you smell his cologne. If the idea of his cologne repulses you, you should probably think about what that means
14. You Don't Want to Talk as Much
Have you been ignoring his texts? Do you make up excuses to get off the phone? This is probably a bad sign. In the beginning you probably scrambled to find your phone every time he texted or called you. If now you don't care at all, you probably aren't attracted to him anymore.
***
Remember when his voice was like music to your ears, and you could chat for hours about anything and everything? Now, the mere thought of a conversation feels exhausting. You find yourself constantly checking the clock, counting the seconds until you can say goodbye. It's not just about being busy; it's about that spark fizzing out. Your heart doesn't race anymore, and small talk becomes a chore. When silence becomes preferable to his company, it's a glaring sign that the attraction is waning.
15. You No Longer Find Him Funny
Finally, he can no longer make you laugh. There is no spark there anymore and you just don't find him funny. In fact, you probably think that he isn't funny at all, you probably are more annoyed with him than anything. Is that the case? Well girls, that is one of the signs you are not attracted to your boyfriend anymore.

Jamie: Christie, Yes ! i don't think we had any chemistry.
peony: Leaving a partner doesn't mean the end ! Sometimes it is good for the psyche. It depends how you break things off as well and we need to find our own path in the end. Of course if he annoys you or any of the things mentioned maybe you should be looking at yourself as well like they say its mot you its me maybe this mantra applies to you. However if you know in your heart of hearts that it is gone gone gone them by all means move on such is life.!
