Playing It Cool Is Out, Loving Loudly Is The Next Big Thing
.
When I was dating, I found ‘playing it cool’ impossibly hard. In fact, I just couldn’t do it. I didn’t understand the dance of chasing somebody, getting a date, and then pretending I didn’t care what happened next. I wanted another date! Dating is fun! Why would I pretend I wasn’t interested in this?
Needless to say, this did put people off. What I saw as natural enthusiasm for dating and having fun, my potential suitors saw as a little too intense, potentially needy and a bit ‘much’.
