Dating is Difficult

Why do people try so hard? Dating is a difficult enough proposition without adding more pressure to the situation. Do I look all right? Are my clothes out of style? Will I say something stupid? Is Madonna still hip?

So why would you want to add more fuel to the fire by pretending to be something you’re not? What will that get you? First base? A second date? Doubtful.

Let’s face it. People are getting wiser every day. It’s because we’ve all seen just about everything there is to see, thanks to online profiles and YouTube. So nobody’s going to be fooled if you show up wearing a Jay-Z shirt and claiming to be in his posse.

Here’s a novel approach – try being yourself. Wow. Why didn’t I think of that? Who’s going to care if you don’t have the latest app’s downloaded on your iPhone when your big smile and natural spark are getting noticed. Sure, some people are impressed by bling, but in the long run, most people would rather be with somebody who is real than somebody who is really pretentious.

You can still go to the latest event, or hang out at the cool club. But it will be you, not some facsimile ripped from Justin Timberlake or Miley Cyrus. It will be you that your date will remember, not the GPS gizmo in your ride.

Just show up, wearing whatever you’re wearing, and let the real you shine through. It’s amazing how that works.
