Feel like you're 'drunk in love' ? You might be experiencing New Relationship Energy (NRE). It's that intoxicating feeling when you're swept away by a new partner.

NRE is like the honeymoon period of dating. It's that euphoric, frenzied energy you feel in the early stages of a relationship.

NRE is fueled by a flood of chemicals in the brain, including dopamine and oxytocin. It's what gives you that head-over-heels feeling of being in love.

But remember, the high of NRE isn't sustainable. Eventually, you'll settle back into your baseline of emotions.

It's important not to expect NRE to last forever. Deeper intimacy often comes after the initial rush fades.

Communication is key. Discuss boundaries and needs with your partner to ensure everyone feels valued and respected.

Remember, NRE is temporary. Recognize it as a natural phase of love and allow it to transition into deeper, more stable connections over time.

Special gestures can keep long-term love alive. Consider scheduling date nights, giving compliments, and finding new ways to express love.

Stay connected with friends and loved ones outside of your new relationship. Their perspective can help you maintain balance and keep an open mind.

Avoid comparing relationships based on NRE. Each connection is unique, and different stages offer varying levels of passion and comfort.

The end of NRE doesn't mean the end of love. It's an opportunity to deepen connections and explore new facets of your relationship.

Enjoy the excitement of new love, but cherish the depth and stability that come with time and commitment.
