Having A Great Time When Your Boyfriend Is Out Of Town

One of the lovely things about being in a new relationship is the point when it becomes not so new. When youre familiar with each others neuroses and routines and have probably even developed quite a few habits and routines of your own. Its nice. At a certain point, you start to let go (to varying degrees, depending on how you operate) of parts of your single self and merge into couple mode.
It can come as a bit of a shock when you’re sweetie goes out of town for a few days. If you’re used to him being around a lot, those few days without him may make you wonder what to do with yourself. That doesn’t mean you’re dependent and can’t function on your own; it just means your routine has been thrown for a loop. Besides, you love ‘em so you miss ‘em.
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:
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.
Looking your best takes time and effort. Not having to look your best is just plain relaxing! The relaxation of few days of “I have to look super hot” downtime will leave you looking even more ravishing (is that possible?) when your partner comes home.
You time
You know how it goes: you start spending tons of time at the other persons place and suddenly you havent watered your plants, gone to the farmers market, done laundry in two weeks or paid your credit card bill. Its too easy sometimes to get caught up in a lovers haze. Its wonderful but it leaves lots of little things undone. This is an excellent time to catch up on all of that. Youll feel totally together and less stressed when your beloved gets back in town.
Practice having a 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.
Your sweetie will be thinking of nothing but you if you initiate a naughty phone call just before he goes to bed. If crooning sexy come ons over the phone isn’t your thing, send a few sexy photos of yourself (nothing x-rated!) to his email address. For a touch of old fashioned romance, send a letter to his hotel.
Rediscover your friends
Bit of a no brainer really. Your friends are seeing far less of you, and they miss you. Let’s hope you haven’t cut them off all together because you may find yourself getting a less than friendly reception. Spending time with your bosom buddies while your other half is out of town is a great way to pass the time.
