You know when you first start dating someone and everything is all pretty and great? That’s the honeymoon phase. After about six months or a year you’re going to get more comfortable with your partner. That is when your real relationship starts. I personally never liked the honeymoon phase because I felt like it was a waste of that time in your relationship. So here is some things you can try to get to the real stuff.
1. Go without makeup
You may or may not already wear makeup, but go without it on you lazy days when you and your partner are watching Netflix and see if he notices. If he doesn’t like it, then you may want to find a new man. Wearing makeup every day for the rest of your life will be exhausting.
2. Fart
Farting along with other bodily functions is a huge stepping stone in most relationships. Some people have been married 30+ years and still don’t fart in front of each other. I suggest start with a burp and then work your way into farting. I mean holding in your gas for 30 years is not healthy.
3. Overcome the phone barrier
He never uses his phone around you or he is always on it, but either way you never get to touch it. You don’t get to touch it to change the music and he never says, “Babe will you hold my phone.” This is a sign that he’s holding back. I’m not talking about snooping through his messages; I am referring to general trust to hold the device that stores his life. Try picking up his phone to play music and see if he freaks out.
4. Limit you love testimonies
People in new relationships, especially after they pop the L word, spend so much time telling each other how much they love them. Yeah, it’s nice to be told and reminded that you are appreciated and cared for, but when you can just know that the love is there without questioning it and having to be told 24/7, that is when you are getting comfortable with each other.
5. Ask for things
Boys cannot read minds. Even though it would make my life and every other female’s lives easier, they can’t. So instead of waiting around for him to guess what you want for your birthday or that you actually want to go see a movie instead of staying in. Try asking him, it will get you what you want and make him happy because you’re happy.
And that’s all I’ve got. If that doesn’t get you out of the honeymoon phase then you might just have to wait it out. Best of luck!
