Any advice?

Me (f, 21) and my boyfriend (m, 24) -- we love each other so much. But as the time goes by, I'm falling out of love with him.

We're always on the phone talking with each other. But it's not like before...

There's no spark.
There's no sweetness.
It feels like there's already overfamiliarity with each other :(
Love the verb comes before love the noun.

You have two options, fight to save it or move on. If you have a talk about how you feel, about how things are feeling stale to you, then he might well join you in reinvesting in the relationship. If, on the other hand, you really feel that your heart just isn't in it anymore then it's not going to get better by itself and you owe it to both of you to call it a day.
You should talk to him about spicing things up.

We all have doubts sometimes but it's about realising why you fell in love with them in first place. Loving someone is about falling in love with them over and over again.

Sometimes people can fall out of love during a relationship. It happened to me when I was at my worst. Take your time away from him and re-evaluate your feelings for him

If you want to stay together and be married, you need to sort out what's keeping your hearts apart when your minds are so close

Try talking on the phone less, or better still not at all, so that you are more excited when you see him.

Most things eventually run out of time... it does sound like that could be happening.
A wise observation. Use it to guide your heart as you move ahead.

Got to put in what you want out of it with relationships.

If your goal is a long term relationship or even marriage, overfamiliarity is going to set in eventually. You will need to determine if that is something you are okay with, because if not then maybe marriage isn't in your future. Or maybe you are more suited to a polyamourus style.

But to focus back on your current situation. I would start to think about what you want to do in life and where you want to go. And see if your partner shares in those. If he does, it may be time to switch from exploring each other to working together towards a shared future and helping each other grow.

If he doesn't seem to be heading in the direction you wish to go, it may be time to move on. Otherwise one of you is going to need to sacrifice your own future and that lack of sweetness could turn bitter. If you wish to discuss further, feel free to continue here or reach out.

if you love each other "so much" currently then come back once you don't and ask the same question.

Thats very common with people your age, you're growing and changing at a rapid pace and of course your tastes, ideas, and personality are also changing... its why serious relationships are better sought when you are older (25+) and more set in your life.
