Maybe its really the way you see yourself? Maybe you should be looking inside to find out what the deal is?
I would think its a reflection of how you veiw the relationship, maybe you feel like being in a relationship is kind of making you less attractive. Like you're turning into your parents?

Dude, if it's this serious, and you're coming back to us with the same person, same problem, just take her shopping and see what happens. Or when she wears something you like, say, "you really look great in that. Maybe we should go shopping sometime, so you can get something else in that style. It's one of my favorites. I'd love to treat you." That's the only thing that has any hope of working, imo. You're attempting to traverse land-mined territory. Tread lightly and strategically.

I love that advice NB, what a great way to let her know you like HER, and give her good ideas for what looks flattering on her! GREAT!

When we're alone, there's nothing wrong with how she looks.

Maybe I'm just weird and this makes no sense at all.
Yep weird, the first part I did not understand. Care to explain?

Unfortunately, it's gotten to the point where she even seems unattractive. I feel really conflicted about it. I like her as a person but feel a little deceived. Has this ever happened to anyone? Have you ever dated someone whose appearance could vary drastically by their grooming habits/clothing?

It's really a head scratcher and I feel like crap. If you have any advice, please let me know!
Lol...how do you feel deceived? Im a bit confused here...help me understand?

I am not picturing how this works.

Since I don't wear a whole lot of makeup, I mostly look the same day to day. But I know I look better when I am not slacking off with my hair pulled back!

You're going to have to expand on what, specifically, you find different about her from time to time? I used to do pageants, so as you can imagine I look one way all dolled up, then another when I'm just wearing sweats and a ponytail at home. At the end of the day though, I still have the same face and still look like myself... I don't really get what you mean. Did she stop wearing makeup or change her hair or something? Are you comparing her to other girls when you go out, and thinking she's less attractive compared to them? Does she dress up or down depending on the situation, and you just prefer her more "put together" look?

Yeah, I'm having trouble understanding how someone's appearance could change that much. Unless she goes from heavy makeup to none, or from form-fitting clothing to baggy stuff.
