Singles Matchmaking

One of the nice things about a new relationship is when you realize that it’s not so new anymore. You have come to think of yourselves as a couple complete with couple habits and routines. At the same time you’ve started to let go of parts of your single life.

When your sweetie goes out of town for a few days, there’s a break in your routine. You have become used to having him around and suddenly, no one! It can be a bit unsettling because, well, you’re in love! This doesn’t make you dependent, it just means you’re a bit out of sorts.

Fear not, friends. This can actually be a serious glass-half-full situation. There are more good things than you think that come with being alone for a while mid-relationship. Here are a few suggestions to get you started:

Letting go

Okay, not ugly ugly (theres never any reason to not take care of yourself. That should not be dependent on a loves presence) but you can safely get away with not shaving your legs or worry about hanging around in your oh-so-comfy but totally unflattering sweatpants.

It’s actually refreshing and relaxing to have a bit of time when you don’t have to fret about your looks. These few days of down time will probably leave you looking even hotter (if that’s even possible) when your sweetie gets back.

Catch up on you stuff

The last few months have probably gone something like this; you spend time at each other’s place doing couple stuff. Your plants have been neglected, you haven’t done your laundry in weeks, and the bills are piling up. Being caught up in a lover’s haze is wonderful, but it does mean that things are left undone. Now is a great time to catch up.

Discover the long distance relationship

With one of you out of town, your normal romance tactics just aren’t going to work. It’s time to change this up a bit. Ever wondered how long distance relationships work? Now’s your chance to find out.

Try a naughty phone call just before your sweetie goes to bed, or send some sexy photos (nothing x-rated!) to his email address. For a super surprise, send a love letter to his hotel. It’s very old fashioned and very romantic.

Rediscover your friends

This shouldn’t really deserve a mention because it’s a no brainer. Seriously though, you know how you felt when your best friend became involved with someone. You saw far less of her than you liked and you missed her company. Well, your friends feel the same way about you. This is the perfect time for uninterrupted catch up.
