What does “Being yourself” means

I'm pretty sure about during your whole life, when you try to meet someone to be your couple, most people (parents, friends, etc...) have told you "Just, be yourself" or "Show the real you". But, let's be honest... being yourself (ourselves) is the main reason about why we are still single, but don't worry, I'm gonna give you the Dos and Don'ts to achieve the real "Being yourself".

{Do not go too expensive}

Sometimes when we are trying to get the attention from the person who likes us, we try to catch the attention using expensive clothes or spending more money than we earn. So, if you are at this point, you can try using your own resources to show a really good style.

{Show your feelings}

This does not mean to say "I love you" on the first date (I repeat, Do not say I love you on the first date).

It doesn't matter if you feel or know if she/he is the love of your life, try to keep those words, at least for another 2 or 3 more dates. Instead, you can show it, how? well... keep reading.

You need to be careful, because there is a thin line, between being kind or lovely and being creepy.

Listen. One way to show you are listening, is to do a "callback". A callback is bringing to the present something she/he told you some minutes, hours or a couple of days ago.

Small detail (not jewerly). It's better to bring just one flower on certain dates, than bringing a bouquet of flowers or a giant bear (creepy). Just make sure of when you are giving it to her/him, say a compliment about how she/he looks on the date. Oh, and something else, give it at the end of the date, it's uncomfortable carrying a gift along a date.

{Do not try new things}

I'm not talking about being boring or having a routine. I mean don't try a new hairstyle or a new fashion style hours before your date. Instead, you can make a pretty good grooming routine to look clean and healthy (this is very important).

Another thing to avoid is new kind of places to have a date (specially if it's the first one). You can go somewhere where you know pretty well, and this means knowing the route, maybe some workers and some dishes, in order to make a recomendation.

Remember, choose a place where you can look strong and comfortable, in order to handle when something isn't going as planned.

When you are on a date, the best way of "being yourself" is by feeling secure, safe and comfortable. By feeling this, you will be able to manage a conversation, make some jokes or even finish the date trying something or somewhere new (just at the end of the date, after a good chat or dinner and only if it went super).
