Tips For Successful Dating - Part 3

Be Yourself

Our ideas about love and romance are based on what we see other people do. Movies, televisons, shows, music and books can all influence people 's notions of love. People try to change themselves to match images that the media creates. These images often are not realistic.

You may think you can make your boyfriend or girlfriend happy if you change. You may think that losing weight or acting tough, innocent or wordly will improve your relationship. It is a mistake to try to change who you are to please someone else. You will end up feeling uncomfortable. After all, the person was attracted to you for who you are. If you become someone you 're not, you may lose the relationship. If you cannot be youself with someone, then you probably should not be with that person!
