It's Ok to Be You

I was asked to give romance advice to the quirky and weird among us. 

My advice? Whoever you are, and however quirky you are, be you.

Here’s why.

The sooner your dates get to know the real you, the sooner they can decide whether they can handle the real you or not.

Hiding who you are to please someone else not only wastes time, it prevents the people who would like the real you from realizing it. 

I’m not saying don’t try to make a good impression. Obviously, you should.

But don’t hide the things that bring you joy and the things you love.

Be as geeky and weird as you want.

The quirky and weird will find that attractive. 

And those that don’t, weren’t right for you anyway.
