One of the turning points in any new relationship comes when you realize that you're part of a couple. A couple with habits and routines of their own. You've successfully (I hope!) merged your single self into couple mode.
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! This is really a glass half full kind of thing. Believe it or not, there are a few good things that go along with being alone while you're in a relationship. Don't believe me? Read on;
Being "ugly"
This is THE perfect time to wear what you want. Forget about shaving your legs for a few days (total bliss by the way). And remember the super comfy comfort clothes left over from your single days? Yeah, the ones that make your butt look two feet wide. Put 'em on; there's no one around to see how you look.
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.
Time for yourself
Time has flown since you met and you've spent most of it together, either at your place or his. Which means that your plants haven't been watered, the dust bunnies are having a party under the bed, you're laundry is multiplying on its own and the bills haven't been paid. Being under the spell of a lover's haze is wonderfully cozy, but now is the perfect time to catch up on all the other stuff you've left undone.
Discover the long distance relationship
You and your significant other are probably used to all the typical romantic tactics that come with being in a relationship where youre within easy access to each other at all times. Thats not to say those things are inferior or not as sweet but its always fun to mix it up. One of you being out of town is an automatic shift that, while making you lonesome for your lover, also opens you up to a whole range of possible romantic activities.
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.
Hang out with friends
This is a no-brainer. But really, friends always miss their friends who get into relationships because inevitably, theyre seeing less of you. Its natural and forgivable (as long as you havent cut them off completely, but you know better than that) but having some hardcore buddy time while your other half isnt around is a fabulous idea.
