The Beauty of Not Trying

This hilarious comic strip reflects the difference in attitude that people have in new versus long-term relationships. In the dating stage, we try as hard as possible to put out the best version of ourselves. But when things get comfortable, we can finally be genuine with the person we love.

To stop trying is not the same as giving up on a relationship. For a couple to be happy, two people must be comfortable with themselves. Having an occasional romantic date, however, doesn’t hurt!
