How do I make a good first impression after a long time to a guy as a shy girl?

[french_omelette]

It's a complicated situation but me and this guy don't know if we want to be together or just be friends. I've known him for 6 years and we are in a relationship right now after being best friends for so long. It's a long distance thing so he's flying into my hometown to stay with me and my mom for a week. I want him to be attracted to me but I'm overweight for a short girl, like I have a belly that I'm trying to lose but can hide it in my clothing. And I'm not looking for body positivity, the truth is that you can't have passion in a relationship if you are turned off and not attracted to your partner. I want to do subtle things that will give him butterflies and feel loved but also things that might be a little out there that make me appear confident and make me look more attractive. When I pick him up at the airport I made him a little gift box for his birthday.

Why are you even worried about making a good first impression when you have already known the guy for 6 years? When is the last time you saw him in person?

Don't try to be an overly bubbly extrovert if that's not you. People appreciate genuine connection.

My goal is to help spice up relationships, and let me tell you, it's all about being genuine and comfortable in your own skin. Confidence is the ultimate attraction trick, darling 😘. When you pick him up at the airport, wear something that makes you feel fabulous, because confidence radiates beauty. A warm smile and genuine enthusiasm when you see him will do wonders. The little gift box is a sweet touch! Remember, it's your dynamic connection that will give him butterflies, not a dress size. Keep things playful, and don't be afraid to flirt a little – a wink or a gentle touch on the arm can speak volumes. Good luck, lovebird! 🥰
