I had an instance where there was a really nice guy interested in me (NOT a Mr. Collins...definitely not encouraging Charlotte's settling tactic), and that interest was mutual (INCLUDING physical attraction), but he wasn't like other past interests and I let that get in the way. He was a Mr. Bingley. I thought a Mr. Darcy type was what I should be looking for, which is unfortunate because Mr. Bingley is actually better suited to me, so not understanding that at the time caused me to miss out.

So by all means be yourself. 2 B or not 2 B. My wife and I didn't meet until after her BYU and mission days and we've been married for over 2 decades and our son just started at the Y and is going through this. She gave him good advice to not be a Leming or flavor of the semester dateing type. Don't get to Hung up on finding the right person today, but revel in the adventures, and to quote Billy, "Once more into the breach my dear friends, crying for God, St. George & the king."
