how to rekindle a relationship...?

my boyfriend mitch and I have been together almost 7 months and everything has been going very well until recently. Our job hours conflict and we don't get to see eachother as much as we used to... but when we can mitch doesn't always act like he wants to see me. When we talk on the phone we run out of things to say after 5 minutes when we used to talk for hours. I know he still loves me, and I still love him... I just think we've gotten to the point in our relationship where things aren't as new and exciting anymore.
How do I make things better between us? I know this is more of a 'relationship' question than a 'sex' question (our sex life is still great!) but I trust you guys and want to hear what you all have to say.

what ur experiencing is natural. you've been together long enough now that silences should be tolerable if not comfortable. just cause you don't talk for hours doesn't mean you guys have lost the passion or love each other less, it means you guys have told each other everything and it doesn't take long to update. <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif">
what i would suggest is come to an agreement that it's okay to just talk on the phone for five or ten minutes a day, or even skip a day or two. that way, when you do get phone time, you have plenty to tell each other.
second, when u r together start making a list of things u've really wanted to do together and start knocking them down. sharing the activities will bring you closer together.
and think of it this way amadee. if you and mitch end up together for 75 years, there's bound to be a ton of silence over the years. so you're only getting started <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
good luck and i think ur worrying over nothing. just make sure you don't let this become more than it is...
