Can a person change their personality to get someone to like them though.

No, but you can kind of force yourself into a mold - for a little while.

Thanks. Does that mean that maybe a quiet guy would be someone I should look for instead though.

Maybe. Anyhow, don't bother with someone for whom you have to change who you are. It won't work for very long.

I agree firmly with Roger.

I started out in life as quite shy, though I grew opinionated fairly early on, quietly, say, at age eleven or so. That was from my parent's magazines, as well as somewhat contradictory stuff by them as individuals, plus, friend's points of view. I got less shy with time, so that you read me now, decades later, as a fairly ballsy woman.

My personality? I opened up. A lot of people do, while learning about the world.
A variety of people affected me, or didn't.

Change yourself to get someone interested that you might want to date?
That's a smudgie idea. Don't be a jerk to yourself, or the person.

Adds, i worked in a hospital from the day I turned sixteen, St. John's in Santa Monica. I wouldn't have missed it. I worked there a bunch of years, after school and sometimes full time. That affected my views, for sure.

Bu tthat was not my trying to get dating approval.

Yes,its possible.But finding a one that is very much suitable for is much better.
