My boyfriend and I have been together for almost three years. We are as different as night and day, physically and mentally (our life views/values are SO off!). When we first met, I did not shave my armpits or legs and had a head full of dreads. I did not wear make-up and wore my own style of clothes. He fell in love with me anyway. Its weird because he really is a hippie-hater and can't stand my friends or random "hippies" on the street. His past girlfriends have been girly girls dressed in pink, make-up, and designer clothes. beautiful girls..but in my opinion fake. Well anyway, in the past few years I have shaved my arm-pits and my vaginal area...wear a tad bit of make-up occasionally, and have been cutting dreads out and combing them out (I'm down to 3 real ones left) By the way, I havent done all this for him...I think I'm just growing up or moving out of that stage in life. My views on life havent changed though, just my appearence. Anyway, my question is, if he has loved me for who I am for this long, do you think he will like it more if I conform fully? or if I stay the way I am which is a combination of what I was then and what I am now (physically). also any feedback on why a "hippie hater" would fall in love with a "hippie" that would be great. thanks

He shouldn't like you less though, he's been with you for about 3 years, he definetly likes you for you, because trust me, in America, boys aren't so accepting of the hairy kind, and boys talk, so he loves you for you, and you can change or stay the way you were, or be both and it shouldn't make a difference. It may be a pleasant surprise to see you without dreads, he may like it better on you, and maybe he thought he liked your dreads but he likes your natural hair better. He learned to like a hippie despite the differences, so be who you are! That's what you were before, and as time goes on people change, and whatver you are, be it, because I can tell, you're with a great guy, he'll love you all the same. Love grows anyways, so as he changes and you do, he'll love you more. [ AskAndy's advice column | Ask AskAndy A Question ]
