Can you increase "chemistry" or is it just there?

There was another spammer who started out by spamming links to his furniture business in China, then wound up educating a good portion of the forum on the intricacies of furniture construction.

I think you can increase it, but that doesn't sound like what you're trying to do. For you it doesn't just sound like the chemistry isn't strong, or that the flame has died, it sounds like you guys have about zero chemistry. It's one thing to have 6/10 chemistry and try to get closer to 10/10 because it's worth the work in an otherwise great relationship. It's another thing entirely to have 0/10 and try to get, well, anywhere.

You talk about school work, and you look about college-aged in your picture. If you're this young and the spark isn't there it's probably time to jump ship. At your age the only time you should be thinking long-term about a woman is if the "chemistry" has you jumping each other's bones pretty much nonstop. The strongest thing about a relationship when you're young is the chemistry; it's the rest you learn later. If the spark isn't there there now, it's certainly not going to be there as you get older.

How many marriages lose the "spark" sooner or later and become friendships anyway?

Not attracted, no point. Your GF can also be your mother/sister/daughter/friend (NOT LITERALLY YOU SICK ****!!) but she has to be your sexual partner too.

Chemistry is just there.
Or it isn't.

There's no renewal process.

It is a horrible thought, that is for sure. But how can one keep the flame from extinguishing itself over time?

Keeping an existing flame from extinguishing itself and trying to light a flame where there just isn't one to begin with are two very different situations. I'm not clear if the OP is in the former or the latter category. If the former, I dunno, get more adventurous or something. If the latter, move on, because you can't force yourself to fall in love or lust with someone you're just not that attracted to.

Seriously, what are you waiting for? The day you knock her up and you're stuck with her?

Or did you already do that?
