Boyfriend has low sex drive...help!

My boyfriend is WONDERFUL. He treats me better than any guy I've ever dated has treated me. I've had A LOT of duds in my life. This one is soooo sweet and I can tell he REALLY cares for me.

The GOOD news is that he obviously isn't with me just for the sex.

The BAD news is that he only wants sex once a week and I'm more of a once a day (more or less is okay, but overall) kind of gal.

I've brought the issue up with him before, but he still hasn't increased the amount of lovemaking.

Sometimes he reassures me that he is really attracted to me, and he wants me to know that. It's just that when he comes home from work, he is EXHAUSTED. He says he believes sex is a "celebration of feeling good" (and so we don't have sex.)

He is NOT interested in changing his diet. I can't really see him getting into this...but he has cut out alcohol recently. I don't know if he will stick to it, but we'll see.

I'm a night person and he is a morning person. In the morning HE has energy and I don't. I'm in my morning death-coma and he is all snuggly and cuddly. I've told him before he can always wake me up for sex...but he never makes any moves on me in the morning and I can't really blame him. I'm so out of it because I'm a night person who goes to bed long after he does.

He is going to be getting a new job soon. He wants a less stressful job so he has more energy for everything else.

Does anyone have any advice for me in this situation? We've been dating for about 5.5 months. Is there any hope out there for us???
