Express yourself!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Have you ever been on a date with someone and, much to your chagrin, they get the wrong idea about you based on something you said?
For instance, a guy can say something to express his manliness and it doesn’t go over well. A woman could possibly turn a guy off when she mentions anything about wanting/needing a good provider. Neither person is necessarily revealing any huge character flaw. They are just expressing themselves in an effort to reveal more about themselves.
On the other hand, maybe small things people say can add up to one big whopping pain in the butt person you really don’t want to date. How do you tell the difference?
Are you finding it harder to express ourself in a way that won’t run off a potential mate? Do you find yourself carefully choosing what you say as not to project the wrong image or send the wrong message?
In your own relationships and/or dating experiences, do you ever find it difficult to express yourself to your partner? How do you handle it?
We have all heard that communication is very important, but what happens when the manner in which a person communicates with you is a huge turn-off? Does this mean you aren’t compatible with the person at all?
