Ok, so here’s an example of a hypothetical scenario that I could use in my Common Place article based on the topic, the problems hiding who you are can cause in a relationship.
Let’s say you’re at a party and you start talking to this guy. He is ruggedly handsome, and you really hope that by the end of the night he asks you to go out with him sometime. Since you really want to make him like you, you listen intently to everything he says and when he talks about his hobbies you say oh yeah I love that too! Let’s just say that he is talking about how much he loves the outdoors; especially fly-fishing. Now you don’t know a damn thing about fly fishing, for all you know they are fishing for flies, but you say oh yeah fly fishing is great. He looks surprised; probably the first time he has ever heard that come out of a girl’s mouth. By the end of the night, he asks for your number and if you would like to go out with him, Thursday at 8. Of course, you’re ecstatic because you got what you wanted.
So, you get home from the party and think, I better brush up on my fly-fishing facts for next Thursday. Before your date you look up some information so you don’t look stupid; and good thing you did because he brings it up over dinner. You impress him with your knowledge, and then he asks you if you would like to come with him this Sunday, for a fishing trip. Now what? You’re in a little over your head. You don’t like the outdoors, flies, or fish. You would much rather go to the mall and get your nails done this Sunday. However, you lied, perpetuated that lie, and now you have to hope to God that you don’t make a total fool of yourself. Not to mention the last minute Saturday shopping trip to Bass Pro Shop to make sure you’ve got everything you need for Sunday.
As you can see hiding the fact that you are a girly girl and lying about having a common interest has gotten you into quite the sticky situation.
