The Honeymoon Phase tends to go away after about the first 4-6 months of dating. After those first few months, you get to see that person in their true colors. You get to see how they handle stressful situations (whether that stressful situation is because of you or someone else), you figure out their love language, you can start to see the connection between them and their family, etc.

Because so many new things come to light about your partner, this can either turn you away or make you closer.

However, just because you are out of the honeymoon phase, doesn't mean you shouldn't stop flirting or chasing after your significant other. Me and my boyfriend have been dating for a little over a year and a half (and he has been across the world for a good majority of that) and we both put in effort and chase after each other to this day.

You should still complement your S.O and make them feel good about themselves. You should still do little surprises for your S.O and do those little things that make their bad days a little better.

4-6 months is the typical time when most younger couples break up because that “Honeymoon Phase" is gone. You don't say “I love you" every 5 seconds. You don't “dress cute" for them every time you know there's a chance of seeing them. Not to mention all the other things that surface when the Phase goes away.

But with all of that being said, the flirting and all those feel-good things, shouldn't go away.
