What does it mean when there's nothing obviously wrong between you and your man but something still seems off?

Maybe it just means that the two of you aren't compatible. It happens all of the time. Just because you get along doesn't mean you are meant to be together. Now, it's possible that there is something else going on that neither of you is addressing but as you said, there's nothing obviously wrong.

I used to date this woman, and on paper, we seemed just right for one another. But there was never any real spark for me. I wanted there to be one and oh, how I tried. I'd try to force the affection and cutesy behavior and stuff from my end. And I get the impression that she was doing the same from her end as well. But at the end of the day, we just didn't mesh well and we both knew it.

The good thing in our situation is that we both acknowledged and split amicably and are friends now. Funny thing is, we get along way better as friends than we did as "lovers" so to speak. There's no pressure, no expectations so we're able to just be free to be ourselves and it works wonders.

Alternatively you could just be in the in a low point in the regular ebb and flow of relationshipdom.

When something feels off, you should listen to your gut and act accordingly. It's like that post GBFF wrote not too long about about trusting your instincts.

yes, definitely trust your gut instinct. I have found that whenever I felt that something is a bit off and I tried not to see it or make excuses, in the end, my feeling was right. It's a bit like when you go out with a new guy and something doesn't seem too right about him. I guess, we have the tendency to be optimistic so if we have a feeling that something that is off, and the feeling doesn't go away, something really must be wrong...

have just read something on this topic on cosmo:2. Your inkling that something is wrong in the relationship is probably right.
By nature of being a woman, you have a keen intuition, so you’ll feel any kind of distancing on a visceral level pretty quickly. And unless you’re an overly suspicious or insecure person — you know who you are! — you should always trust your gut. Example: He’s incommunicado. Before the days of e-mailing, texting, IMing, and Facebooking, if you didn’t hear from your boyfriend for a day or two, it wasn’t the end of the world (or your relationship). But now that communication is so easy and instant, it’s usually a sign he’s not fully invested.

“When a guy wants to break up, he’ll often start to create space,” says Oikle. In other words, he’ll stop calling quite as much, it will take him a bit longer to return your texts or e-mails, and he’ll sometimes be “too busy” to hang out. “For the record, if a guy is into you, he’ll never be too busy,” says Paul Coleman, PsyD, author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Intimacy.

If the pattern continues, confront your man about his behavior in a direct yet nonaccusatory way, saying something like “You haven’t called me, and I’m thinking that means you’re having second thoughts about us.” If he doesn’t give you a clear answer, well, let’s just say he’s giving you a clear answer.

Hi! I really dont post comments until this point. You have good points, but readers be careful - to be safe, do not believe everything you read in the net. If you read a post in one forum, try and observe some more. It's always safer to analyze articles from various sources, take notes, and then choose which one to believe. Greetings from Eritrea!
