Hiding Yourself: From Someone You Like

Most people feel as though hiding their feelings from the one they care about will keep them from getting hurt. I feel as though this therory is wrong. If you hide yourself from them, how will they know what not to do, say, act, etc. Its a thing called a risk, and you have to be willing to take them when dating. From my personal experience, hiding yourself is how you can get hurt. When you open up some, then you give them a little lead way on what your buttons are so they wont press the wrong one. But dont open up too much, because thats how you can also get hurt as well.
