So
go ahead, if you really have a talent, you might as well as let others know
about it, after all a talented person would any way like to be appreciated by a
partner.
While
we are talking about modesty, there is one question that I want to address
right now. It is something that all of us are familiar with. If you have
chatted with a stranger with whom you are trying to build a rapport you must
have been confronted with the question before. The question is “what do you
look like?’
I
have often wondered about the sense of this question. The best answers that I
could come up with are
“I look like a cross between an orangutan and a
Tasmanian devil” or “I have my mothers teeth, my fathers nose, my uncle’s eyes
and my roommates’ shoes.”
But
of course we cannot give such answers which funny though they might sound,
might just rub the person in the wrong way. What the person actually means is,
“are you good looking or not?”
A
very tricky question indeed! How can you answer such a question with out
sounding either super modest or extremely vain? The answer to that is not to
tell them the answer directly. You can say something like:
“I am as fresh as
peppermint.”
“I look like a bunch of fresh
lilies.”
“I have the appeal of a bowl
of fresh fruit.”
If the person still does not take the hint, then
give them a detailed description of ever inch and let he or she decide for
himself or herself.
