“Hey, don’t take this the wrong way or anything, but I’m not crazy about the mustache. How do you feel about shaving?” “Are you married to the mustache? I kind of miss your clean face and it hurts to kiss you now. Would you be interested in going back to that?”
“I’ll make you a deal, if you get rid of the mustache, I’ll dye my hair back to that color you liked. ” “Hey, I’ve been thinking. I’ll start breaking the skirts out again if you give me a break from that mustache. What do you think?”
“Look, I like the way you look with a mustache, but I really miss the beard. Do you have any interest in going back to that look?” “I’m not the biggest fan of the ‘stache, I’m not going to lie. I love that goatee look, though. Why don’t you grow the rest of it out and then trim your beard?”
“Oh wow! You look so cute here. Look at that face!” “How old are you in this photo?! You have such a handsome vibe here. I love that clean look. ”
“Wow, look at you! You’ve got this old-school vibe going. You’ve got real George Clooney energy going on. ” “I really like this photo. You’re so distinguished and mature looking here. ”
“Does that mustache bother you at all? It seems like it would get really itchy and annoying. ” “Does food get caught in your beard?”
“You’ve got a loose hair here. There, I’ve got it. You’re all good now. ” “Uh oh, looks like there’s a crumb in your mustache. There, I picked it out. ”
“Look, I don’t know how to break this to you, but my Dad had a mustache just like that when I was a little kid. I don’t know how I feel about this look. ” “I hate to tell you this since I know you love the new mustache, but you’re reminding me of my old man. ”
Does my boyfriend put a lot of value on his looks? If he likes dressing to the nines and prides himself on his looks, asking directly could be a good way to go. Has my boyfriend been super excited about his mustache growing out? If so, he may get really bummed out if you reveal you aren’t the biggest fan. Does your boyfriend tend to lash out when he’s insecure? If he’s a little sensitive when it comes to the way he looks, you’re probably better off going for a more subtle approach.
If this is seriously a dealbreaker for you, tell your boyfriend. If it’s between you and the mustache, he’ll probably lose the ‘stache. Don’t take this dramatic approach unless it’s totally necessary, though.
