It’s incredibly cocky for someone to say they have nothing to improve. If someone said that, anyone would be turned off immediately. |
I used to watch the Bachelor/Bachelorette all the time! I used to love that show. It's funny you mention it, but yeah, they do reinforce vulnerability on that show. But in reality in dating, people don't want to let their guard down right away, most typically. It's all about putting your best foot forward initially, being the fun person to date and the interesting person to date. I'm usually making myself vulnerable from the get go - bad idea, I know. I have had weak boundaries and let people into my world far too quickly and I give them my trust far too soon. I am the opposite of what people who date should do - lol. I should be in a video for how not to behave while dating new people.
I know, I am getting off topic, but the whole world of dating is actually very daunting to me at this stage. I have a broken picker, as my best friend tells me. And I do everything backwards and wrong.
