Full Disclosure

There are many situations where being completely up-front and honest are counterproductive to one's goals. Business is an obvious one, but romance also falls into this category. I'm not talking about strategic lying, here - just holding back some of one's thoughts about certain things, at certain times.

This was/is a difficult thing for me to got used to. You'd think it would be endearing to have a "nothing to hide" attitude about everything, but I think you're more than likely to ruin everything if you take this approach.

Mystique is part of the game. It's what makes people curious about you in a potentially romantic setting. If being mysterious and playfully evasive is hard for you, that's a very important implement missing from the toolbox of love.
