In my early dating experiences, I didn’t even try. “You never share your feelings” was something I heard often from my first girlfriend. I received a lot of similar feedback throughout high school and the first few years of college. I had a change of heart during my senior year in college, beginning to see that the concept of communication made sense. So, I gave it a try. And, boy, did I try. Just ask the people I dated. (Actually, please don’t.)
