    If this topic already exists somewhere,I apologize.
    Haven't seen it yet.

    Are there any things that you find yourself doing differently, more or less often when you are in a relationship than when being single?




    Personally I switch up my hair color more often when I am involved,sometimes even curl up my hair,or try some kind of different style, as well as slightly buying more new clothes than being single, to surprise him with a new outfit sometimes.

    Also,even when single, I like trying to cook new dishes,but when in a relationship,I find it to be even more fun, to try something completely new, be it cooking it for my guy or even with him, if he is up for it,too.

    In regards to fitness, I mainly try to keep my weight by eating healthy along with walking a lot. However may join my guy to the gym or go running with him. Somehow that's more fun to me when done together.

    I eat out more and do way more activities when I'm in a relationship.

    I color my hair about the same but change up the style a bit more when involved. I also buy more new clothes as a "surprise" (especially lingerie). I have 3 kids so I never slack off on cooking (lol) but will admit to cooking a bigger variety when attached.

    Like TDK said, I also eat out and go out more when in a relationship.

    Yes,I also left out the restaurant part.
    That does happen a little more when involved.
    And the same on lingerie. If nobody gets to see it, there isn't really a purpose of wearing it and adding new pieces to the collection :)

    Single life = Not spending so much money and more focused on doing what I want to do and more introverted.

    Relationship = Habit of spending more money and doing things together, be it outdoors or indoors. Oh and good deal of sexual communication to complement all that.

    In a relationship, I shave more frequently. When I'm single? Well..... not so much :mrgreen:

    I also organize my space more frequently when attached, because then it isn't only me using that space..

    Other than that, I can't think of anything, been single too long I think :p.

    i cant say that i have habbits when i m involved, that i m not having when i m single.
    major difference is my time management. when i m involved i want to spend the possible time with my partner, so my timetable on daily routines usually changes and priorities are set different.

    So true

    I remember time adjustments in past relationships

    Well, I already cook all of the time. When in a relationship, I enjoy making new things that I might not make when cooking for my kids. Presented beautifully, by candlelight by and nice linens. :)

    I buy lingerie more frequently, panties, stockings, and lots of sexy things.

    I purchase play toys with or when I have a man who is adventurous enough to experiment with them

    I am smarter about managing my time when in a relationship as already stated, so I have plenty of qt to cuddle and do romantic activities w my man

    I go out a lot more when Im boo'd up

    I talk on the phone more " " " "

    I work out harder....

    I watch my diet closer

    Everything else I do pretty regularly...

    Thought of one other thing!

    Plan little random things to do to surprise my guy all the time! He loves it!!

    Things like showing up at his house w nothing but a trench coat and heels on

    Leaving little waterproof love notes in the shower

    Popping up w random gifts for him every time I visit him

    If I were in a relationship, I become fully aware that I have someone in my life and that I cannot do anything to jeopardize it because it was I who asked her out and that I must not toy with her feelings in anyway. That's me.

    Oh yes, picking up little things for gifts, or being more crafty /creative to create something for him, are fun things :D

    Sadly my guy lives on post, and in order to visit him at his place, he would need to sign me in.
    So I can't prepare any surprises at his place,just at mine.

    It's interesting to hear different views.
    What is normal to some,is a big deal to others,and vice versa.
