I mean, everyone has done that at some point.<\/p>\n<p>Guy or girl, everyone one of us has tried to get the attention of someone we\u2019re attracted to by presenting them with a very specific picture of who we are.<\/p>\n<p>And most of us have made the mistake of taking it too far.<\/p>\n<p>You know what happens then.<\/p>\n<p>Either you pull it off and he thinks you\u2019re a huge sports fan, for example\u2014and then you have to lean into that white lie for weeks or even months.<\/p>\n<p>Or you say something that gives you away, and he sees through the act.<\/p>\n<p>Pretending to be someone you\u2019re not is uncomfortable, exhausting, and possibly embarrassing.<\/p>\n<p>The tough thing about this issue is that there\u2019s a very fine line.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s totally okay to pitch yourself a certain way to guys\u2014as long as your pitch is fundamentally true. If it lines up with who you really are, then it\u2019s not really a pitch at all.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Dove\u2019s \u201cReal Beauty\u201d campaign works because it\u2019s good marketing and it aligns with the company\u2019s mission statement.<\/p>\n<p>If they ran ads saying every woman is beautiful just the way they are, but only used pictures of heavily airbrushed models, it would never work.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, Dove is just soap.<\/p>\n<p>But they\u2019ve found an authentic way to describe who they are beyond their product . . . and their ads don\u2019t just get the job done. They\u2019re inspiring.<\/p>\n<p>You can do the same thing when you meet a guy. You can present the best possible version of yourself and be <em>100% authentic<\/em> at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Would you like to know how?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Prep<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Most of the time, guys know a bit about you before you even speak.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ll see you across the room or read your online dating profile. So you need to do some authenticity prep work.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you do the online dating thing, make sure everything from your profile text to the photo you use paints a flattering-but-true picture of who you are.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re meeting guys at a bar, wear something that looks good on you, but stick with a style that lines up with how you normally dress.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a good rule of thumb&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>If your friends wouldn\u2019t recognize you, you\u2019re not being authentic. That goes for online profiles and face-to-face encounters.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Pitch<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When the conversation starts, you have a short window of opportunity to make a good first impression.<\/p>\n<p>This is where most of us get nervous and end up saying something that doesn\u2019t represent who we really are.<\/p>\n<p>So don\u2019t do that. I\u2019m serious. It\u2019s that simple.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a cheesy personality and like goofy jokes, tell one. If you really are a sports fan, say something about the game. If you hate the bar scene, it\u2019s okay to admit that.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s your pitch.<\/p>\n<p>Humor goes a long way at this point. A casual joke will help both of you drop your guard, which makes it easier to stop \u201ctrying\u201d to be yourself . . . so you can just be yourself.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Payoff<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Every conversation you start that way won\u2019t launch an epic romance.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, most dating scene getting-to-know-you conversations don\u2019t even last that long\u2014until you meet someone who\u2019s a real match for you.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s the one-two payoff.<\/p>\n<p>One, you don\u2019t waste time chasing guys who don\u2019t really fit into your life. And two, when you meet someone who does, you\u2019ll both know it much sooner.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s why this matters&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>You have a limited amount of time to meet guys. Don\u2019t waste it on men who aren\u2019t what you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n<p>Streamlining your dating strategy just makes sense. That gives you the best shot at having the kind of relationship you want.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who knew passionate romance could also be efficient?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re meeting new guys, be charming and fun. Always put your best foot forward.<\/p>\n<p>Take the time to look and sound good. That\u2019s just smart. But make it a point to be as genuine as possible at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>If you can strike that balance, you\u2019re set up for a really fun, really fulfilling dating life.
