how to keep things emotionally meaningful

Yeah, I’ve run into that before. When my ex and I started exploring more playful content, it was exciting at first, but then I realized I was missing the little check-ins we used to have afterward — the “are you okay?” or “did you enjoy that?” moments. What helped me was mixing in conversations that weren’t about intimacy at all, like planning trips or watching shows together. Also, I found some ideas through GoLove AI that showed me how much small acts of empathy can boost the whole dynamic. It doesn’t have to feel like one cancels out the other.
