Reputations…
We all have them… but are we aware of them?
I wonder what my reputation is… if I had to guess, I’d say I have the reputation of being notoriously loud… and, well…I probably talk too much. And, honestly that’s all I can think of right now.
When you begin dating someone, do you know their reputations already? Guess? Do you meet their friends? If you live in a small community where there is literally three degrees of separation of everyone being practically related, do you investigate to try to puzzle together the idiosyncracies of your date’s personality before they’re blatantly put out in front of you (or you along with the world) to see?
If your guy is a hothead and flies off the handle, would you want to know that ahead of time?
If he galavants and has commitment issues, would you rather talk to a past fling of his to get the truth (or maybe a jealous psycho rage, who really knows for sure?) about his ways or go through the course at your own speed and find out in your own way?
