Shapeshift into being you!

Knowledge

Don't try to change yourself for anyone, so that you can get someone interested in you. That is not sustainable. Instead, become yourself--the you you're supposed to be. That will attract the people that will love you for you, not for some cheap, short-lived imitation.

Slipstream

Yes, definitely! Be who you are and let the other person be who they are. If it works, great. If not, better to find out in the beginning. Great advice!

Evangel

True. Good advice. Being genuine requires self-confidence and practice. Most people are stuck in their schtick. How about you offer a course in how to liberate oneself from that prison.
