Let’s compare…
Appearance
Dating: Bought a new outfit, shaved my legs, did my nails, makeup and curled my hair before every date. I continued to primp until he rang the doorbell.
Married: Get home from work and throw my bra on the floor. Wash all the makeup off my face, throw my hair in a bun and change into something more comfortable. “Hey, how many days have I worn these sweats on the floor?” They smell clean. I think these have one more day left in them.
Thoughtfulness
Dating: “Honey, can I get you a beer? Uh oh! I don’t have the beer that you like. I better go to the store. Let me chill this beer mug before I leave.”
Married: “You are closer to the kitchen than I am. Get your own beer.”
Bathroom habits
Dating: Excused myself to use the bathroom because I had to fart. Ran the water, flushed the toilet and sprayed air fresher to cover up the sound or any lingering smell.
Married: “The dog did it”
Conversation
Dating: “Oh my god, you are so funny” (Giggling and flipping my hair.)
Married: “I’m sorry hon, did you say something?”
Interests
Dating: “Oh Yeah, I love football. The Pats are my favorite.”
Married: “The games on? Uuugggh! I will be in the bedroom watching “Once Upon A Time”
Seduction
Dating: Gave him an erotic massage while wearing sexy lingerie.
Married: Unbutton the top button of my flannel pajamas and whisper “The baby’s asleep.”
