10 Reasons You Should Travel with Your Lover Before Marriage

According to Trent, here are 10 reasons why you should travel with your man before you marry him.

1. If You Love To Travel, You Need To Find Out If He Makes A Good Travel Buddy

If traveling is one of your favourite things to do, it would be a bit awkward if you married the guy only to realise that he is actually The World’s Worst Travel Buddy. If you only find out later that he has panic attacks on planes, is a stickler for hygiene, and thinks culture is a load of tomfoolery, it’s always best to find these things out first. So get on a plane and discover just how well you two get on with one another away from your home comforts.

2. You’ll Find Out How Good He Is At Compromising

When you go traveling, you unfortunately cannot do everything. There will have to be something that is sacrificed so that you can do something else.

When you’re traveling with your partner, it may often come down to a straight choice between something he wants to do and something you want to do. If he is willing to compromise with you, he sounds like a great guy and we want to meet him. If, however, he says you go your way and he’ll go his, you need to kick him right into touch! (Just saying).

3. You Will Find Out More About His Values

Sure, you know that he grimaces whenever someone gets badly chopped down on the football field, and you know he’d always help a brother out when it comes to buying a round of beers; but what is he like in other situations, when total strangers are ill or injured?

Traveling can bring you in touch with the plight of others worse off than yourselves, so it’s a great way to measure your boyfriend’s empathy and caring nature.

4. You Will See What He’s Like Out Of His Comfort Zone

Okay, so you’ve seen what he’s like in his comfort zone, and he’s pretty relaxed and at home. He likes to have beers with his buddies, shoot some pool, and snuggle with you in front of the television.

But you won’t really know the guy unless you take him out of his comfort zone and dump him in unfamiliar settings. Without his buddies, his beer, his job and his sports he’s either going to be like a fish out of water who throws hissy fits, because he can’t find a McDonald’s, or he’s going to totally embrace the situation.

5. You May Find Out How He Looks After You When You’re Sick

It’s all well and good being sick at home, but what happens when you’re sick whilst on vacation? Is he prepared to sacrifice his time in the sun to stay in the hotel and treat you? Or is he going to simply nip to the chemist on the way home from the beach?

Being sick whilst traveling can be a testing time for a couple, particularly, if it means there are lots of things you both don’t get to do. If he’d rather ride a camel than tend to you, you know you haven’t got a keeper.

6. You’ll Find Out About His Habits

You know a few of his habits. He’s always annoyingly on time for a date, and he likes to show off whenever he’s driving. But when you’re cooped up with him, either in a hotel, a hostel or a tent, you’ll find out everything about him. What you find out might not be pretty, but it will tell you whether he’s a keeper or a “GET RID NOW”.

7. You’ll Find Out How He Reacts Under Pressure

When you’re traveling, you often encounter unexpected situations. A plane might get delayed, a ski lift might be closed, or you might be told that there is currently a strike on public transport. You might be able to react with grace under pressure, but what about your man? Is he going to rant and rave, and tell those in charge that they “cannot be serious”? Or is he going to take it easy, relax and say that it’s just one of those things? How he reacts can make or break your mood.

8. You’ll Find Out Whether He Is Adventurous Or A Beach Bum

If you’re the type of person who goes traveling to have an adventure and find the ruins, you’ll naturally prefer it if your beau was of the same mindset.

But what happens if it turns out that all he wants to do is sip Tia Maria’s by the beach all day long? Oh no! It turns out that Mr. Right is actually Mr. Boring. Yup, it’s time to break it off and tell him this just isn’t working out!

9. You’ll Find Out More About Him

Traveling together means you literally spend days, weeks, and sometimes even months together. This means you’ll be doing everything together, and it means you’ll be able to find out much more about him.

You may discover a few surprises. For instance, perhaps he likes books, or perhaps he enjoys a good sing-song on the karaoke. On the flip side, you may find out things you dislike about him. For instance, perhaps your feelings as an animal lover are offended when he decides to climb onto a donkey and order it to carry him to the hotel. Oh dear.

10. You’ll Discover More About His Spending Habits

If you’re a thrifty shopper or if you’re high maintenance, you’ll ideally need your partner to be the same. Traveling means you get to witness at first hand whether he works well within his budget or whether he goes insane with his credit card.

10 Stages Of Being in a Long Distance Relationship

Long distance relationships are not easy but it helps to understand that what the both of you are going through is not abnormal. Below are stages that you will go through if you're in a LDR. 

Stage 1: Dread

The first stage of any long distance relationship is before the distance starts, when you begin to dread the idea of being away from your partner. If you and your SO are two freshly graduated high school seniors, summer is spent counting down the days until he or she leaves home for college and you’re left alone to fend for yourself. Even before graduation, you’ll dread “the talk” with your partner about whether or not you even want to try long distance. Nobody wants to say goodbye, and this is the stage that is going to determine whether or not you and your SO are going to make the big sacrifice and

It's Aries Season. 10 Honest Qualities About An Aries .

1. Aries are people who enjoy being independent. They prefer to change and grow as a person because they take on life optimistically.

2. Males and females who are Aries are known for being honest creatures. Although they won’t be blunt or rude, they strive to “keep it real” for their friends and families. Aries are great lovers, friends, and siblings.

3. Aries love to give to others, but have trouble accepting compliments or presents. It is not that Aries are ungrateful, but rather never expect anything to be given to them. They are extremely hard workers and everything they have is earned and worked for.

4. Aries can be sensitive and inside their own head, a lot. They over think, over analyze, and go over scenarios multiple times. The reason for this is because

7 Reasons Why I Won’t Tip My Server

1. You’re not professional
This doesn’t only apply to servers. No matter what your job is, you should be there to work. It doesn’t matter if you flip burgers for a living, or if this is just your after-school job that your parents made you get. Take pride in doing your job, and doing it well.

I’ve worked in convenience stores, coffee shops, restaurants, and call centers. When I was a teenager I used to clean up after sick animals. None of these jobs were particularly prestigious, especially when I was cleaning dog diarrhea and vomit on my hands and knees. But from the minute I clocked in until the minute I clocked out, I was committed to my job.

How does this apply to you? It’s simple: don’t be thumbing through a magazine in the middle of the restaurant. Get off your smart phone. Don’t even pull it out. You’re at work. Are some of your friends sitting at one of your tables? That’s fine, but don’t be shooting the shit like you’re hanging out at the bar. They’re hanging out. You’re working. So work. If you act like you’re too good for the job, then you’re too good for my tip.

2. You stink
Stop wearing a ton of perfume. Wear a jacket when you go out for a smoke. Wash your hands when you come back from your smoke. Don’t reek of the days’ worth of food you’ve been handling. Wash your uniform. Take a shower before you come to work. Keep your weed at home (yes, I can smell it, everyone can smell it).


Nothing cripples an appetite faster than stench. Aside from, of course, if…

3. You look like hell
My expectations aren’t unreasonable. I don’t care what you look like as long as you don’t look like you recently crawled out of a sewer.

Clean yourself up. Have a neat head of hair. Don’t be covered in stains and grease. Again, wash your hands. Fingernails are a big one. They shouldn’t even be a little dirty. Dirty fingernails should never, ever be anywhere near food.

Put some effort into not looking like a dumpy mess. If you look gross, you’re going to gross people out. You’re working customer service. Don’t gross out the customer.

Furthermore, if you have any disgusting habits, keep them in private. I don’t want to see you picking, sniffing, sucking, or scratching any part of yourself.

4. You’re rushing me
“Are you ready to order? No? How about now? Are you ready yet? Can I get you anything? Are you going to order anytime soon? What do you want? Are you ready now?”

Why are you so impatient? Do you have anywhere to be? Is that my problem? It’s not. Look, it’s good to frequently check on your customers… within reason. If you’re coming by every 30 seconds to ask if I’ve decided what to order yet, you’re going to annoy the hell out of me really quickly. It’s rude. I told you I needed a couple minutes, not a couple seconds. Go manage your other tables. Don’t have any other tables? Then I’m sure you can make yourself useful for a little while somewhere else in the restaurant. Go wipe down a table or something. I don’t take ages to order. I’m not here to dick you around. So, please, don’t dick me around.

Furthermore, if I say I’m waiting for someone, let me wait. Stop pestering me.

5. You’ve forgotten all about me
This sin is the antithesis of the last, and it’s just as bad.

Look, I get it. Sometimes you’re really busy and you have a lot of tables to manage. It’s easy to get a bit lost. If I need you and you haven’t come by in a while, I’ll flag you down. That’s okay… the first couple of times. However, if I need to hunt you down for every single thing, then we have a problem. It’s not my job to manage you. I’m here to enjoy a meal that’s being cooked and served to me without having to do any work for myself. That’s what restaurants are for. Once I find myself playing “Where’s Waldo” with my server for the Nth time, I’ve already put in much more work than I ever should.

I know, I know… first world problems. But I’ve been in your shoes many, many times. I expect you to give me the same level of service that I would have given you.

6. You’re whining about your problems
We all have shitty days. However, I’m not your social worker. I’m your customer. Sure, it sucks that your dog just died, your car wouldn’t start this morning, you were late getting to work, your boss is an ass, and you’ve barely made a tip all day. What do you want me to do about it? I came here to enjoy a meal, not listen to your problems. I’m not being inhuman or mean. I truly do sympathize. But not when I’m eating, or out on a date. You have problems. So do I. I don’t come to your restaurant to cry to you about mine, so don’t come to my table to cry to me about yours. We’re not here to throw you a pity party. Leave your personal life out of your work life.

7. You’re hitting on my date
Are you fucking high? I will never, ever understand the logic behind a server who thinks it’s appropriate to try and pick up my girlfriend when he’s serving us. If this ever happens, I usually catch it just as I’m returning from the washroom to see the server hovering over my girlfriend trying to make conversation. Few people have ever had the balls to do it right in front of me, but that’s happened too. You’re spending way too long at our table, paying way too much attention to my date, and trying way too hard to impress her. You’re giving her your life story without ever being asked. Oh, you’re a writer working on a novel that’s going to be your big break? You’re an actor auditioning for multiple major motion pictures? You’re an OHL player who’s going to make it in the big leagues? Great, now get me my damn steak and stop ogling my girlfriend. Yes, she’s hot. She’s also out of your league.

Sometimes, though rarely, it happens the other way around. Sometimes, though rarely, I’m the one being hit on. Hey, see the gorgeous girl sitting across the table from me? That’s my date, and you’re visibly pissing her off. You’re souring the mood, as well as your tip.

Bad move, Casanova.

Difference Between 'Love' and 'Lust'.

It's always good to know the difference, especially if you're not sure what you're feeling. "Love, lust: it’s easy to confuse the two, especially in the early stages of a relationship. Both emotions make you feel a kind of bliss that you've never experienced before – which is wonderful and joyous and something to celebrate – but make sure you know the difference between the two. Need a little help? Here’s a few clues:"

1. When you’re in lust, you dress to the NINES. Maybe even the TENS. Obviously, there’s no harm in trying to look good for your significant other, especially when you’re first courting each other. But we all know dressing (and looking) like you’re going to Fashion Week each time you step out for a date takes a sh*t-ton of effort, not to mention money!

When you’re in love, you might forget to wear pants. Are you wearing a shirt? Check. Shoes? Check. Pants? Oops! On those exciting Friday nights where you end up pacing the aisles of Costco to stock up on frozen pizzas and Lucky Charms cereal, comfort = love.

2. When you’re in lust, you look past their foolishness. Things are so hot & heavy, it’s easy to look past minor “annoyances” (that laugh, that money problem, that MOTHER) that may turn into larger issues down the road.

When you’re in love, you point out their mistakes. You love them, which is why you want them to be a better person. And if they love you, they’ll accept the (constructive) criticism and try to be a better person not just for you but for themselves, too.

3. When you’re in lust, you say what they want to hear. You constantly aim to please. When they ask you a question, you’re more apt to reply with a “safe” answer, even though it might not fully express how you feel. (You figure you’ll get to that later, right?)

When you’re in love, you keep it real. You don’t agree with everything they’re saying and you clearly state that. Having different views and opinions from your significant other doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not a good match; it just means that SHOCKER: You’re different people. And that’s okay. Healthy debate is good and normal and helpful at seeing things from another perspective.

4. When you’re in lust, the person you’re with is a Greek God/Goddess. Or rather, try this analogy: a perfectly-shaped cookie with no dents or chipped corners. But hate to break-it-to-you: even perfect-looking cookies have burnt sides (even if they’re not visible at first).

When you’re in love, they’re more like a Greek God/Goddess statue missing it’s arm. Perfectly imperfect, just like you! Pretending to be anything other than that is exhausting and oh: A LIE.

5. When you’re in lust, you don’t really know them. Sure, you know their favorite color is blue and their favorite food is macaroni and cheese. But that’s surface level-stuff. You haven’t dug down deep – and girl, that tunnel is LONG.

When you’re in love, you know small insignificant details. Their favorite color is blue because when they were little, it was their mother’s favorite color to dress them up in. Their favorite food is mac & cheese because it’s the comfort food their Grandma always made them when they went to visit. These small, seemingly insignificant details are intimate parts of their past and who they is. And you know all these little, beautiful factoids because you took the time to really get to know them – and better even, you still want to know more.

6. When you’re in lust, you don’t feel comfortable talking to them about your problems. Talking about your problem can help ease stress and tension. But you prefer to talk about them with someone you trust. And let’s face it, you’re just not at that ride-or-die stage yet.

When you’re in love, you’ll talk to them about, well, basically everything. You know you love someone when you can trust them with the most minor (and major!) issues you’re having, not matter how weird/trivial/embarrassing they are. You know that they’ll listen without judgement. That’s love.

7. When you’re in lust, silence is awkward. Which is either filled with rambling or make-out sessions. No objection to make-out sessions, of course, but the fact that you both find the silence awkward is a sign of discomfort.

When you’re in love, silence is welcomed.  When you run out of conversation topics, you don’t feel like you need to fill the silence with something else. You just let the silence sit comfortably. The void is welcome.

8. When you’re in lust, the future is unknown. Yes, you’re enjoying every moment you have with them right now. You love their attention, the dates, and the feeling of pure bliss. But when you look at the long run, you have absolutely no idea what the next few months (or years!) will hold. It’s a little scary.

When you’re in love, you welcome thoughts of the future. Whether you marry or not is up to you both, but can you see yourself sitting side-by-side on matching rickety rocking chairs? Does the idea of that give you something to look forward to? Do you picture bad vacations, fights over trivial things, and (gasp!) babies and can’t imagine anyone else taking this journey with you? Then, you’re totally and utterly in love.

Reasons Why Women Keep Going Back To Their Ex-Boyfriends

1. Insecurity - No one wants to feel alone, and when you have broken up with someone at 2 in the morning when you can’t sleep, you tend to forget why things were so bad for you both.

In your darkest hours, you will remember the fun times and good times. You will believe that if you two got back together, you could make it work.

You analyze what went wrong, and tell yourself that if he was by your side again, you would do things differently.

But they won’t be different. You have broken up for a reason. When you are feeling insecure, call your BFF, go and see a professional, or find a new social group to belong to.

When I first separated from my husband, I got out my address book (this was before the iPhone age), and booked up every free night I could. I joined the gym and lost 10 pounds. I treated myself when I wanted to and told myself how wonderful having freedom was. It worked. Years on and I wonder why we even got married in the first place!

2. Challenge - It’s a game to you. You wonder if you can get him to come back to you at a moment’s notice. You know how to push his buttons and you know what turns him on.

It’s not for the right reasons and it’s not a game. Playing with someone else’s feelings is not the thing to do. Men don’t always play games like women tend to – don’t ask me why – they just seem to like life a little less complicated.

So if you want a challenge, join a sporting or recreational club, and challenge yourself to be a better person than before you met him.

3. You Believe You Made a Mistake – If you said goodbye to him, it was no mistake. There was a reason you gave up on you two.

However, when you are alone and everyone else has someone to go out with, you wonder if you made a mistake when you split from him. You look at old photos and find reasons to believe things could have worked out.

Well, they didn’t. And don’t think you made a mistake, because you didn’t do that either. The only mistake you would make now, would be if you went back to him.

4. No One Else Can Have Him – You see that he has begun a new relationship while stalking him on Facebook. So you begin stalking her.

Even though you don’t know her, you have formed an opinion of her and it’s not a good one. She doesn’t know him like you do, so there is no way she could make him happy like you used to.

You were the one that he first cried in front of, and you were the first to show him how good loving could be. You share a history, so why does she think she can make him happier?

Well, you know what? She probably can make him happy and she probably will. And just because you two broke up, it doesn’t mean he can’t be with anyone else. Let him go and be grateful that he has someone else in his life that can give him what you couldn’t.

Because one day, you are going to be in his shoes and have someone who is so suited to you, that you will want everyone to be as happy for you as you are for yourself.

5. It’s Not Fair That He’s Happy – How can he look so good and happy while you are still eating tubs of ice cream in your old, faded bathrobe at 2 o’clock in the afternoon?

“It’s not fair!” You silently scream. And it’s not. Sometimes life is not fair. But you crying about it isn’t going to do anything except give you puffy eyes.

For him to look good, he is probably spending time on himself instead of wallowing like you are. He’s probably out and about meeting new people instead of being stuck inside, stalking Facebook, and crying into his cell to his BFF.

Guess what? Sometimes we have to face facts. We need to kick ourselves in the butt and get out of our self indulgent rut.

And if we start working on ourselves, and looking at our own beauty in the mirror instead of faults, we too can be happy.

And we can be happy on our own or with someone new. Let go of him today and grab hold of the new you, starting right now!

Why Relationships Fail These Days

Many many years ago people were able to sustain longer in relationships due to the fact that they were in it for the right reasons. Nowadays it seems as if people are in relationships because they hate the idea of being alone. Below are 10 ugly truths about modern day relationship.

1. Wrong mode of communication:

Yes, everything is becoming easier, all thanks to technology. However, there are some things that cannot be replaced by technology. Quite a lot of relationships get crack not because there was no communication, but because the wrong form of communication was picked! Social media, texting, Whatsapp, BBM and lots more are all great ways to communicate but you will agree that most times, during translation by the receiver, the point is lost. Texting, messaging and emails can make things more complicated. Why not go in for the face-to-face method and keep it straightforward?

2. Waiting it out:

The ‘do-not-be-the-first-to-say-hi-after-a-major-argument’ rule has now become a trend and it is even becoming something else. Whoever started the rule must have been someone with a hardened heart. Yes, there are times you just have to wait and let the other person do the calling first, but hey it should not be all the time. This is very common amongst ladies… Going by this new dating rule you won’t probably mind waiting for two days before you contact him again. But wouldn’t it be better if you could just approach them immediately and take things in the right direction instead of wasting time waiting it out?

3. Looks are important:

Most people today consider looks as an extremely important factor and would give up a good man for a good looking man. This could be a big mistake, so choose wisely.

4. Unreasonable Fantasies

Relationships these days are based on fantasies. The difference between love and lust is forgotten and more often than not the lust is mistaken for love. So what you think might be love could actually just be attraction to good looks. Be clear on what you like in the opposite person so that there is no room for confusion. Also, be guided!

5. Misinterpretation:

Trying to pass as an ‘I-am-too-cool-to-care’ person might boost your ego as the man or the lady in your relationship but the truth is, it also has side effects. This little but mighty attitude of yours can put you across to your partner as someone who is egoistic, you can also be easily misinterpreted as  not interested in the relationship, not caring and many more… which could stop your relationship from going to the next level.Think about it, do not let your ego take away something important t you.

6. Social media syndrome:

Yes, the importance of social media is enormous BUT it can also be the evil that will wreck havoc in your relationship. Putting write-ups, images that suggest what is going on in your relationship is a no no! Save some of them for your patner alone. The whole social media sphere does not need to know when you are happy and otherwise with your relationship.

7. The fear of coming out clean:

Most people today are worried about disclosing their relationship status to the world in the fear of turning down better options. Fear of commitment makes things worse. You have to make up your mind, it is either you are in and proud of it or you are out!

8. The idea of romance:

People nowadays love the idea of romance more than the actual thing.  We have been blindfolded by what we see in movies and what we hear in some fairy tales. This makes many to want the fairy tales, they don’t want to work towards getting it. Relationship is work, work it out!

9. It’s all about sex:

Everything most people in a relationship talk about mostly is all tilted to sex! Its amazing how one night stands, flings and sex dates have become extremely common in today’s day and age. Make sure you are not in a relationship that revolves around sex. It isn’t wrong to want more than physical intimacy.

10. Exclusivity isn’t always promised:

You will be shocked to know how many women in a relationship are dealing with this issue. Some of them will say they are now used to the  ‘friends with benefits’ culture without even wanting to.  Make sure to put across your views before you get your heart broken. Also set some of the things you don’t want and can’t put up with in a relationship before going into one. It will help you greatly!

15 Things You Learn When You Find Your Soulmate

1. No love is perfect. It has its highs and its lows — and some of them are very high, and very low — but the lows are not a sign of weakness or that you shouldn’t be together. Rather, they’re something that brings you closer to each other.

2. Sometimes you just need to hold your partner’s hand or give them a hug, and not ask questions or give them any advice. Just knowing that you’re there is more comforting than words.

3. You can be mad at someone and still love them senseless. Getting mad at someone doesn’t forecast the end of your relationship, it just means you’re humans who have feelings and screw up from time to time.

Say 'ThankYou' to Your Ex! Here is why...

1. It probably wasn’t all bad

While it may not seem like it straight away, when you look back at the relationship later on, you will see that there were good times, as well as the bad. Try and remember those, rather than just the fights or the bitterness, and the relationship will have seemed a whole lot more worthwhile.

2. You will be able to spot the signs quicker next time

The experience of a breakup can teach us many lessons and one of those is not to ignore the signs next time. Relationships rarely end completely out of the blue and, even if you chose to ignore them, the signs were probably there. Learn from this and, the next time, you will be able see these signs earlier, take control, faster and end the relationship, without wasting any time.

10 Simple Ways To Impress a Woman

1. Being a gentleman

We should all strive to be gentlemen at all times; however, many men today shy away from it, attempting to respect a woman’s space and equality. Believe it or not, there are still plenty of women who still appreciate chivalry and being treated like a lady, and being a gentleman when you are in the presence of a lady shows her that you are attentive, respectful and well-mannered.

2. Maintaining eye contact
It can be tempting to look a beautiful woman up and down, and the more beautiful she is, the harder it is to concentrate on the conversation with her. Just remember, if she catches you staring at her cleavage when she’s telling you how much her dad means to her, you’ll look like a creep.

Signs It's Time You Two Break Up

By: DFTM

1. You’re only in the relationship to spare her feelings

Deep down you know you no longer want to be in the relationship any longer, but you’re scared of telling her it’s over. Even if you’re the kind of person who’s used to looking out for everyone else’s needs, you’re not doing your girlfriend any favors by staying with her out of sympathy.

2. You’ve simply grown apart
You may have really loved each other when you were in high school or college, but now you find that you’re just completely different people going in different directions and the relationship is not right for the people you are today.

3. You would rather spend time alone
At the beginning of the relationship,
picnics on the beach and spontaneous romantic getaways were all great options. Now, spending time with her seems like more of a chore and you make up excuses just to go out on a date.You spend most of your spare time with separate friends, visiting your families alone, or anything else you can think of to avoid spending time with each other. Simply put, you and your significant other have already emotionally broken up without making it official.

5 Questions You Should Ask Your Girlfriend

By: DFTM

1. What is your favorite activity to do with me?
Asking your girlfriend this question will help you identify whether you share the same interests and hobbies. If you like bowling and she likes cycling, you may have to rethink your plans the next time you are together. Learning her answer to this question will help you find compromise in your relationship when it comes to planning things together.

2. How far do you want our relationship to go?
Both of you need to be aware of how the other feels about where the relationship is headed. If the two of you have different expectations then you are better off knowing now rather than finding out later and getting hurt.

5 Things You Shouldn't Tell Your Girlfriend

1. Your ex-girlfriends
Your current girlfriend shouldn’t know about your ex-girlfriends and the good memories you have of them. Talking about your ex with your current girlfriend can lead to resentment and unfair comparisons.

2. Your friends’ bad habits
It’s a bad idea to share all the dirty little secrets about your friends, especially those you hang out with on a regular basis. Chances are she won’t be cool with you grabbing drinks with your pal who always cheats on his wife? Telling her all of your friends dirty secrets will just cause her to not like them, not trust them, and will make hanging out with them an impossible task.

5 Reasons Dating Your Bestfriend is Worth the Risk

By Liane Amat

1. Your best friend knows you well. Shared experiences always play a big part in the dynamics of a relationship, and being the best of friends assure that you do have a lot of these. These experiences tell you a lot more about the person’s likes, beliefs, desires and dreams more than anything else can. Seeing the person in action, in an uncontrolled environment reveals the nitty gritty of that person’s disposition.
2. You can just be yourself. As your best friend knows you well, you would be accepted for who you are and not for whom anyone else wants you to be. You would not have to pretend. You can be weird, creepy, standoffish, cheerful, or melancholic and your best friend would know how to deal with you.
