Middle of the Night Activity - Make-up, not Sex!
Q: Dear KingLove -
I started dating this woman that is very "looks conscious." Not with other people so much, mind you, but with herself. She's in her early twenties and pretty gorgeous, but wears a bit too much make-up. I've always looked at it as - too much is better than too little. Anyway, that's not the problem. The issue is that I recently became aware that if I spend the night at her place (or vice versa) she wakes up in the early AM - to reapply make-up (it's happened three different nights). I'm freaked out. She said it was because she "wanted to make sure she looked great in the morning." What should I do?

A: What's going on out there? If she's gorgeous, how bad could she look in the morning? Dangerous question.. hopefully you don't wake up next to a terrifyingly horrific werewolf.
She's obviously got some issues. The good news is that if you really like her you both should be able to get through this.
You should make sure that she knows you think she's very attractive, as you mentioned. She needs to have a little more confidence that she's great and yet doesn't always have to be pristine. She obviously insecure in this regard, and you should be able to help. Talk it out, and build up her "sleep thru the night" muscles.
There's probably been years of some sort of mental issue she's constructed, so you'll have to be persistent. If you can't help her, you may want to politely and supportively suggest a professional. You may also want to consider wearing the newest style of the always sporty garlic necklace - just in case.
