Lookback: 1.5 years into relationship

“Tried to look attractive to spark intimacy”

Felt embarrassed and pathetic after boyfriend said he didn't feel tension, now questioning own attractiveness and worth

What I wish I knew
"How to create natural tension without 'performing'"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate openly with partner about desires and boundaries"
