Hi didi, I love dressing fun and funky. Do I have to change myself to go on a “meeting" with someone?

Dear Ritu,
Oh, the days of fun and funk. I miss them. Enjoy them. Alas, I digress.
Let’s see -- meeting someone who could be The One. The question is never about changing oneself. That would be a fruitless exercise anyway. It’s just deciding which part of you (that already exists) to share, and when to share it and with whom to share it.
I think a hint of the fun and funk within would be great to show. But let’s not scare him. Show him that you’re a free spirit but that you can be grounded at the first meeting. Stay conservative but add the fun element so that you are not a carbon copy of everyone else. The scarf? The earrings? The shoes.
