@its.anya.lacey: Most people are professional bluffers when it comes to texting while dating. They’ll act like they’re into everything you’re into, mirror your opinions, and match your energy because they think that’s what’ll make you like them more. Then, the second you actually start asking questions or making real plans around those interests, the whole act starts falling apart. I’d rather someone tell me upfront what they genuinely like, even if we don’t have everything in common. It’s so much easier to build something real when you’re getting to know the actual person instead of the version they think you want. Authenticity might not impress everyone at first, but it’ll always outlast pretending. #DatingAdvice #ModernDating #TextingCulture #RelationshipTalk #DatingHumor
