When starting a new relationship, we often don't realize that the person that we're falling in love with is not them; it's their representative. It's the version of them they want you to see because they're hiding who they are. Now, this is not intentional. It's something that we instinctively do as humans for survival. We want to make sure we're giving you the best version of who we are when we first start dating because we want this new person in our lives to be our mate, we want to draw you in. So, it's a natural animal instinct to give and want to provide the best version of ourselves to the person we're hoping we can build a long-lasting relationship.
