Love Sick: Keeping Up Appearances

When you’ve been in a relationship with someone for awhile, it’s easy to let yourself go. You no longer feel the need to feel like bait on a hook, because you’ve already reeled them in. However, it’s important to spruce yourself up a bit sometimes in order to keep the allure you had when you were still single.

I know this sounds superficial. If your boyfriend loves you, then he should love you no matter what you look like. But if you decide to stop making any effort to look good, he is going to be less attracted to you and things could become boring and stale.

Think about how you were at the beginning of your relationship. You made a point to stay fit, you did your hair, you shaved your legs. Now it’s a miracle if you comb your hair before having him come over. I get it, you’ve spent so much time together and you’re so comfortable with each other that you don’t feel the need to try. However, making a little extra effort can go a long way. It will help you to maintain that passion the two of you had when you first started dating because you’ll still be extra sexy to one another. I’m not saying you need to spend an hour getting ready before you see him, just that you maybe actually put an outfit together before going to his house instead of showing up in your sweats.
