No matter how long you've been with your significant other... it's still important to make sure your partner is attracted to you and to keep that spark alive so you still get that fuzzy wuzzy feeling that you get in your tummy when you fancy someone. Now I know some of you reading this think the word "fancy" is just for the young one's... well listen here to me.... You are never too old to fancy someone... got that!?!?! Especially if they are your long term partner - then it's even more important that you still fancy them and are as attracted to them as the day you first met!!

What about what they think? Think about that... do you think they still fancy you?! They should... unless they have some reason not to... such as you not putting in any effort to get them to lock their eyes in on their prize (that's you by the way!!)

Some people tend to lose interest in staying attractive once they are in a relationship... I guess they subconsciously don't see the point in putting in the extra few minutes here and there to look and be attractive to their partner... but let me tell you this - they are wrong - it is worth the effort and the ones that don't bother will end up on the slippery downwards slope to a town called Singleville.

What do you want from your partner? I bet you still want them to look as good as they did when you first started going out? Or be as kind and say those sensitive things or whisper those sweet nothings in your ear (some of you might be getting sick in your mouth at the thought of your long term partner saying those things to you!) but the fact of the matter is - that your partner most likely did look and act super attractive when you first met - and in reality you would still expect them to look and act in much the same way now - even if you are together a significant amount of time!

Don't get worried about time pressures and the fact that you perhaps have a lot more going on in your life now then when you first met - that's normal as you grow older together, between work and kids... so I bet you are thinking to yourself that you don't have time to get all groomed and attractive for your other half - but no excuses are allowed here... no way....cos I'm not just talking about putting on nice clothes, make-up or having a shave (but that would be nice too!) all I'm saying is that you shouldn't just completely let yourself go, wearing old stained clothes everyday and grunting at each other as a means of "communication"... not soooooo attractive eh?! Don't think so!! Really - you should show them that you care about their thoughts towards you - by staying as attractive as you can for them. I mean come on now - it's not really that much of a chore to do your hair and put on some make-up (if you used to wear it when you first started seeing each other) or nice clothes you know you look good in every now and again.... Maybe plan a date night once a week or every fortnight and put in a little special effort that night... It will remind both you and your significant other what attracted you to each other in the first place and keep you on the steady fuzzy wuzzy feeling path of llluuurrrrvvvvveeeeee!!!

Have fun!!
