I've learned that being yourself is the best way to be. I've definitely been in those situations where I've just met someone, or maybe I'm talking to a guy I like and I try to tell them things or answer questions the way that I think that they would like me to.
Why do we do that though? (I know that surely I'm not the only one who does...) It's ridiculous.
Life is so much easier when you are openly and truly yourself. Answer the question according to the way that you actually feel and think. Talk about things that you really do care about. People should get to know you and like you for who you really are, not who they think you are.
Slowly over the years, my best friends have gotten to know the true me. And you know what? They still like me. In fact, I would dare say that they like me a lot. And I like them for who they are and their true selves. And you know what? If I woulda known that guys liked girls who knew Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, I woulda been pulling that card out for years.
So, don't ever pretend to be something your not, or hide who you really are. Be proud of you and let other people like you for it too!
