All those silly articles in all those silly magazines targeted at women always tell you to just be yourself when you like somebody. Well first they say, “10 things to make him fall head over heels!” or “12 Steps to get the guy of your dreams to notice you!”. Almost always one (usually the last step) is be yourself. Now suppose being yourself goes against all the other steps. I always feel that being myself will probably result in a less than favorable conclusion. But then again if I were to put on a front just to get somebody to fall for me and then dropped it after we got together, I’d have been deceptive and that’s no way to build a serious relationship, which is what I want. I guess I’ll just have to follow rule number 10 and just be myself and hope for the best.
