When it comes to love and partnership, I think we can all agree that one of the main goals is to get to a stage in your relationship where you feel truly ‘comfortable’. Those early stages of dating are always a little bit tense and anxious; you are still working each other out and trying to decide on how serious you want to take things, but once you have completed all of those initial tests, the next goal is to achieve verified comfortable status! Do you think that you might already be there with your boo? Here are eight signs you are comfortable in your relationship.

1. Less Makeup
You don’t feel so compelled to wear make up every single minute of the day anymore. You’ve gotten to a point where he doesn’t need to see the superficial version of you all the time, and that also means that you are happy to let him see you at your most natural. Some people would say that this is at your most beautiful anyway!
2. Annoying
You know you are truly comfortable when pretty much everything they do annoys the hell out of you, but for some reason, it just isn’t a problem! The little annoyances are just another part of your days together, and eventually, they turn in to cute in-jokes rather than rows!
Frequently asked questions
3. Company
When you were first together you liked to spend a little bit of time apart to recharge your batteries, but now that you don’t put up any appearances, you are more than happy to spend every single second with him!
4. Multiple Messages
You used to be really careful about not sending him too many unanswered messages in a row, but now you don’t care how it makes you look. You’re happy to reel off dozens of texts in a row!
***
It's like a stream of consciousness flowing between your phones. Whether it's random thoughts throughout the day, funny memes, or just a simple 'thinking of you', no topic is too small or too mundane. This non-stop digital dialogue is a sign that the barrier of formalities has crumbled, and authenticity reigns in your communication. You're not just partners, but best friends who share every silly, serious, or sappy sentiment because at the end of the day, every message stitches the fabric of your bond even tighter.
5. Sharing Food
Once you are truly comfortable, you will have no problem with crossing that sacred food boundary line of taking things off of his plate. That’s fine, so long as you don’t mind him doing the other way too!
6. Burping
Gone are the days of being polite with your personal habits. It’s actually got the point where your belches are starting to rival his own!
***
When you've reached that level of comfort with each other, it's unlikely that a little gas will cause any embarrassment. In fact, there's a subtle competition of who can produce the most impressive sound. Sure, it might gross out people on the outside, but between the two of you, it's just another quirky way to express your ease and familiarity. Who knew burping contests would become your new benchmark for intimacy? And why not? After all, when you're truly comfortable with someone, you can be your most unfiltered self—giggles and all.
7. No Eggshells
You don’t walk around on eggshells anymore in his presence, because at this point you know everything about him and aren’t worried about upsetting or offending him by saying something stupid. You know him well enough now that you instinctively know what to say and what not to say, so the eggshells don’t really feel present.
8. Security
You feel completely comfortable to let him go out with his friends, or hang out with people that you don’t know because you aren’t at all worried that he is going to do something that betrays your relationship. It takes a little while to get there, but when you do, it feels so good!
