Love Question 57
Hello and welcome to this week’s installment of love questions.
When it comes to relationships, many fail because one or both partners put on a face or a mask in the beginning of the relationship. When the mask comes off, things don’t go so well because you have to get to know a new person all over again.
This is especially apparent in internet relationships that don’t work out. It’s so utterly easy to misrepresent yourself that some people can’t help but give into the temptation.
My relationship with Mr. JM started on the internet, but we have always said that our relationship is so strong because we were our real, true selves right from the start. We still had our rocky times, that’s for sure, but we didn’t have to deal with getting to know each other over and over again.
Even so, it’s only natural to try to but on our best ‘face’ when meeting people. We want to make good impressions and be treated nicely.
This week I’m wondering:
Do you put on a face around people? How long does it take to get to know the real you?
(If you’re not with anyone at the moment, feel free to call on past relationships.)

I would say that yes I do have a face. It’s more like protection until I see how everyone truly is. Depending on the people and the situation, it may take awhile for me to be my true self.

I definitely have a face. People make me nervous, so it’s a basic defense thing.
