I used to joke that my husband fell for me because of my cooking, but he claims it was my scent. Not my perfume—the actual way I smell after a long day. I was skeptical. Who wants to be known for their post-gym aroma? But he swears there’s something comforting about it. Curious, I started reading about how animals use scent to attract mates. Turns out, we humans have our own version, even if it’s not as obvious. I decided to lean in. I stopped over-scrubbing my skin and let my natural scent do its thing. I even tried eating more garlic and spicy food (he didn’t complain). Surprisingly, our connection felt stronger. Maybe it was the confidence boost, or maybe there’s something to this whole scent thing.Don’t be afraid to let your natural self show. Skip the heavy cologne sometimes and see what happens. You might be surprised who’s drawn in by the real you. #relationships #datingtips #selfconfidence #couplelife #RomanticRelationships
