The First Dating Trap... 🙈 #datingtips

Mistake number 1 is putting on a facade, pretending to be someone you're not. If we're being honest, pretty much everyone has at least been tempted to do this at some point. We want people to like us, or we're doing what is popular, what the popular things are that people are saying to do in order to get people to like you. For instance, acting aloof is a really good example of that. However, if we pretend to be something we're not, one, we're going to be disappointed. We aren't going to feel fulfilled. And 2, the other person isn't actually going to fall in love with you. They're going to fall in love with this pretend version of yourself. And that's just a recipe for disaster. So pretending to be someone you're not and exaggerating qualities ultimately just leads to misunderstandings and disappointment.
