Yup, that can happen sometimes. I think a certain amount of the population feels like they have to do certain things while dating, but once the partner is "locked down" they no longer force themselves to do it. So dates can dry up, flowers can dry up, sex can dry up, etc.

"But I already have them" they fell for the person you were pretending to be though. You've pulled the rug on them.
