The Signs of Dateface . . . Who Wears the Mask?

Ignoring signs of Dateface is bad business, but how do you know you have a lemon? Knowledge is both a blessing and a curse. With knowledge comes sacrifice and the responsibility of putting it to good use. Just as eating from the Tree of Knowledge ripped the veil of ignorance from Adam and Eve’s eyes, seeing your potential mate for who they really are can be good or bad. Why go along blindly thinking you have something that you don’t? Once the veil was ripped off, they saw each other for who they were and were ashamed. The man found blame—the woman.Dateface involves dating under false pretenses and hiding behind a façade as a means to an end. A person who exhibits Dateface acts one way while they are in pursuit of their significant other, and then pulls a switcheroo once they have succeeded in establishing the relationship. Perpetrators of Dateface act like they empathize with you, but if you look closely, it’s not genuine. Perhaps because they are just pretending an interest in you or because they are so into themselves they can’t look beyond their own selfishness. They remind you of all the things they’ve done for you, but it’s not out of the goodness of their hearts. They expect more back in return and seek praise and recognition. They buy you gifts, not as a token of their affection, but to make-up for their bad actions. They want you on their timetable when getting ready to go out or have sex. They master the art of miscommunication to mislead you.
