How to keep someone interested in you?

You can't. That's just an unrealistic goal.

@aworldinpages hard relate
@Sychlops I mean, I never can. And it's just impossible to. During my early twenties I tried to do whatever they liked and it's the most stupid thing you can do.
@aworldinpages I agree. Ideally it's better they see you for who you are and vice versa right at the start. The people-pleaser in us needs to stop.
