The One Who Was Different

I have had and experience when someone who I thought I had an idea of, but in my later impressions the turn out to be different.  Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't, and when it does you hope that's its for the better.  When it does turn out to be for the worse it can be a huge pain.  Because its like having a friend under false pretenses which is not an enjoyable relationship.  It is best to talk to other people who have had experience with this person, and ask for their ideas or comments on this person.  Once you've asked about 10 or more people then you can have a better idea of the kind of person they are.  However, if it is to late it can feel like you made a bad decision.  Sometime you may even feel stuck.  If you find yourself in this position I recommend you try not to interact with them as much and gradually break the relationship or you could confront them and tell them its just not going to work out.  Now if it is you who has had someone alter their opinion on you then here is some advice.  When confronting someone new BE YOURSELF.  By being yourself you make it easier on you and the person you are meeting with get a better idea of who you are or some day want to be.  I believe everyone should use these guidelines to help form better relationships.

Yeah, I understand what you mean. I have been in that situation myself, and it has been awkward. I guess the best thing to do is to break it off gradually.

Finally got it working. i agree completely with you two. if someone is different than they make you believe, it is not a fun relationship.
