Clean Up Your Mess!How Sloppiness Is Hurting Your Love Life
Can't seem to hold on to a relationship, and you don't know why? Maybe a few disorganized habits are to blame.
Messy areas of your life can give the impression that you just don’t care about things. And if you don’t care – why should anyone else? Why put someone off before they’ve even had a chance to meet you? Instead, see if one of the following describe your messy trouble area and learn how you can clean it up. Messy area: Your finances.Credit problems, overspending, and late payments can be a red flag for potential partners that perhaps you’ve got a lazier faire attitude about life. If you don’t take paying your bills seriously, maybe it’s a sign that you won’t take the relationship seriously either. After all, if your partnership is ever to progress, you will in all likelihood be sharing expenses and money one day. Regardless of what got you in financial trouble, a potential partner may balk at getting serious or in taking on a huge chunk of your debt.
Messy area: Cluttered living space.In many ways, your home reflects your personality and zest for life. But if your house is a disorganized mess, you probably don’t want to be there and certainly don’t want to show it off to other people. If your significant other can’t be comfortable in your abode, they may subconsciously take it as a sign that they won’t be at home in your life, either. Besides that, hunting for your checkbook, keys, or wallet amidst the piles of rubble isn’t exactly a good use of your time.
Messy area: Disheveled personal hygiene.Besides the obvious – who wants to kiss someone who stinks? – a problem with bathing, haircuts, or untidy appearance hold you back from feeling confident and putting your best foot forward. If you don’t feel good about yourself, how can you expect someone else to?
