"I&amp;#x27;m here to help you navigate the sometimes impenetrable, inscrutable male mind and make dating a more pleasant and hopefully more fruitful experience. So please feel free to ask me anything via Twitter at @glamour_jake or via email smittenbloggers@gmail.com. Hi Jake, I haven&amp;#x27;t been in a relationship for three years, and I like it except when my parents keeping saying to just find a man and get married. Recently I hit on a man who I think is really into my type, and we really get into a long conversations&amp;amp;#8212;though we haven&amp;#x27;t met yet. We&amp;#x27;re going on a blind date, so should I behave restrained, shy, and reserved when I meet him? Or should I really start using makeup and get myself &amp;quot;like a butterfly&amp;quot; to attract him? Hi, I don&amp;amp;#8217;t think you should try to behave a certain kind of way or pretend to be something you&amp;amp;#8217;re not. These three words may sound cliche, but they are totally true: Just be yourself. Now, this is not to say you can&amp;amp;#8217;t doll yourself up a bit for the date&amp;amp;#8212;I just wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t dress up like someone that&amp;amp;#8217;s not you. If you&amp;amp;#8217;re most comfortable in a cute T-shirt and jeans, then wear that! You don&amp;amp;#8217;t have to try to be overly sexy or anything, and when it comes to makeup, personally, I don&amp;amp;#8217;t like noticing when a girl is wearing makeup. To me, the best kind of makeup is when I can&amp;amp;#8217;t tell she&amp;amp;#8217;s wearing it. Otherwise, it makes me think she&amp;amp;#8217;s trying to hide what she really looks like. If you&amp;amp;#8217;ve been texting for a while, just be careful that his (and your) expectations are not so high going into it that once you meet, it&amp;amp;#8217;s a disappointment. People are often very different in the flesh! Best of luck! &amp;amp;#8212;Jake For more advice, download Glamour&amp;#x27;s digital edition or pick up an issue on newsstands now. P.S.
