Do you eat a lot of fastfood? It could be that your tastebuds are desensitized. Drinking water should help... I found it dull at first too, but I got used to it and now I can taste the difference between different kinds. I like tapwater, but I hate mineral water: the later tastes metallic to me.

What also helps, is adding a bit of lemonjuice. Not too much, just a squirt or two, especially if you live somewhere where they add chlorine to the water. Someone else once suggested to me, when I still disliked water, that distilling the water could help. I wouldn't do that though: if you get rid of the minerals, the water will draw them from your body through osmosis.

By the way: if you're forgetfull like me, just keep a bottle near your computer and take a swig every now and them.
