Is it normal for relationships to cool off after some months?

>been together with bf for 8 months
>we don't text each other as much as we used to (we still talk everyday though)
>we spend like 10 hours a week together, but we don't talk as much as we used to. He checks his instagram a third of the time (but shows me when something interesting comes up on his newsfeed)

Is he losing interest in me or is it that we have entered that period of relationships when you can relax and enjoy the other person's company without having to think super interest things to say all the time? BTW we are both in a boring period of the year so there isn't much to talk about anyways.

To keep the flames lit, relationship need to be nurtured.

You can contribute to this nurturing by becoming a bit more assertive and actually frequently showing your affection towards him.
Randomly hug him, kiss him, hold his hand or arm when you're walking together, initiate and take the lead in sex every now and then to make him feel that you desire him.

Stuff like this produces Oxycontin in both of you which strengthens attraction and monogamous behavior among couples.

Don't think so hard about it. It is normal for them to not be as exciting as in the beginning when you're both infatuated with each other.

By the sounds of it you're in high school and the best advice I can give you is you shouldn't worry about coming up with interesting things to say, it at least for me used to make me feel more tense.

Lol, I'm actually 22, but this is my first boyfriend and I was a sheltered child so I'm a bit clueless when it comes to people.

About the interesting things, you're right, I just didn't want to be a bore.

We do that all the time, but thanks anyways. I was thinking about adding some randomness to our relationship to break from the routine. What do you think about that?

Sounds good, routines generally grow boring after a while so it's good to keep things fresh.
