So, today i unexpectedly ran into this girl i've been dating for a while. We are far from being near a relationship but we have seen each other a few times, we sleep together and everything.

The problem is, i looked like HELL today. I slept 3 hours last night finishing a project and i had to go to the doctor with another problem, i hadn't shaved and my hair was a mess and everything was just TERRIBLE.

We have texted since, but she is giving me short answers and i feel so awkward. Can i even salvage this?

We look FAR more groggy to ourself than we do to others... yet I also get extremely paranoid about it too.

 

I'm a 21 year old guy and I'm OCD about my appearence, I spend a hours infront of the mirror in the morning, correcting every blemish/flake of skin/crease in clothes/shoe laces laced to perfection, etcetcetc, I won't leave the door until I'm happy with everything,

 

But when I'm out, sometimes I notice that I never actually notice these minor details on anybody else I look at... therefore I assume that maybe they don't notice them on me either..

 

I think the world is judging me if I haven't shaved for a few days... the reality is they're not...

 

But I guess there are benefits to this obsessive mentality... such as always looking fresh and at my best :)

 

I think this transfers from my obsession with my fitness and body, I obsessively sculpt myself to look the way I do since being 17/18 in terms of muscle and physique, I guess it's transferred over to my general appearence with clothes/hair etcetc

 

If she's seen you looking better, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Just don't pest her with apologies about "looking like a tramp the other day/redface"... get over it, she probably/definitely has.
