I like this girl, but I just want to be myself? I hate how I feel like I have to change who I really am and pretend to be entertaining and funny when I just want to have a normal conversation sometimes?

There’s another guy flirting with her all the time but pretends he doesn’t like her, he cracks jokes all the time and I feel like if I’m not doing the same thing he’s doing, this girl won’t like me?

But at the same time I want a girl to like me for me but I feel like I’m missing out on building a relationship with her?

What are your thoughts on this?

Because it reminds me of AWALT because the guy that flirts with her jokes with her in an “asshole” way and it’s so depressing to think that that’s the o it way to get a girl to like you?
