In past years, probably one of the hardest things for me when I trying to meet people online, was being myself. I would put up a profile that, I thought, was a fairly accurate portrayal of who I was. Then I wouldn't get the response that I wanted, so I would tweak it and change it to better suit what men seemed to be looking for. Of course, you want to put yourself in your best light. But I was only shining that light on specific parts of me, and keeping the real parts of me in the dark.
I find I am now putting more of who I really am out there, and, surprisingly, getting positive reactions! It may be my newly found confidence that ties into my new ability to let go and accept what happens. Well, yes, I would like to control things from time to time, and (as I noted yesterday), waiting can drive you crazy! But letting go and allowing things to happen on their own time seems to be offering better results.
It just takes patience.
