Don't try too hard

    I've seen it happen time and time again. Someone wants somebody, so they do whatever they can to make that other person like them. More times than not, this scares the other person off. If you're trying so hard to get them now, they are scared of what will happen if you two actually start dating. They will think you seem nice but they will also assume you are the clingy type. While some people enjoy it, most do not especially at the beginning of a relationship. If you are the kind of person who will do anything to win someone over, read this blog now.
    If you are trying too hard for one person, you will not get them or anyone else. People don't want someone who tries too hard for them unless they just want attention. Be honest with yourself, do you want a relationship like that? Do you want a relationship where you do everything for them and they do nothing for you? That is probably a no unless you're a masochist. It's beneficial to them and you if you just act normal with things.
     Be casual when it comes to flirting. Do things that you normally do. Show that you're someone who deserves them. Don't try so hard or it will lower their opinion of you. You want them to think high of you so they will want you too. You don't do this at all when they can see how hard you are trying for them. It makes you below them and you're putting them on a pedestal before you're even dating them. Even if they say yes, you won't get anything good out of it besides someone who thinks they settled.
    This doesn't apply only to getting someone. It applies to keeping them as well. Just because you have someone doesn't mean it is ok to throw yourself on them. Don't be clingy and too affectionate. Let the relationship develop before you two show a lot of affection towards each other. Also keep it private because most people don't want to be over the top in public. Don't make it look like you're showing them off or they are arm candy. They are your partner, you two are equal, and it should stay like that.
