You are beginning to sound like an old married couple. I'm not trying to be funny. That's just my first reaction.

As I have been told, all couples need to always keep "dating" each other and not take each other for granted. Do things like go out for dinner and a movie, for a walk together, to play putt-putt golf, and other kinds of things that would be like a date. Adjust according to your budget. Maybe the "dinner and a movie" could be a fast-food snack and a rented movie, for example. Even plan to watch a TV show together, if you find something you both like. Make time for each other

Perhaps even plan for sex sometimes. I know that sounds silly, but dating folks often end up back in the bed together after their date, don't they?

As far as cuddling, I know many women say they often do like that better than the act itself. Nothing against sex, but cuddling just makes a woman feel loved and safe and valued.

Bring home little gifts, if she likes that kind of thing.

I think you get the general idea. And make sure to keep the lines of communication open. It would be good for you to bring up this issue with her and see if she likes the dating idea, for instance. You miss the closeness you once had together, etc. And then make some plans!
