Many Individuals looking for love think the best way to find it is summed up by the cliché:   Put your best foot forward .  Part of that message is to put on a kind of act, leading with a positive attitude and a good mood and sharing only your strengths during the early stages of the relationship. This idea suggests you're probably not going to attract a partner unless you shine brightly like a new penny. Dr. Keith Ablow does not agree, in fact he thinks there’s a real risk to genuine intimacy when dating and romance involve two people trying to seem perfect. Ablow explains “Playing dress-up emotionally deprives men and women of getting naked emotionally  and actually connecting.  That happens when they share with each other the challenges they have faced and continue to face, the obstacles each has overcome and the unrealized dreams that each continues to hold close to his or her heart.” Ablow recommends that when people begin dating, they share as much about their disappointment
