On this episode of the Simply Straight Talk Show, Reggie tackling the topic of why people want to change others when they start dating. 

Nothing can make you question your self-esteem like dating a person who feels they person they met standards need to be changed. I know this from personal experience. I've dated people who've told me you need to dress more like this person or I need to start doing other things and stop wasting time on my hobby. So this makes me ask the question, what makes a person excepting of you when they first meet and then decide to rewrite who you are when you start dating. 

We also must determine what things are acceptable to ask a person to change about their life. I do feel there are some things we should change if it means we are going to have a healthier relationship. 

This also brings into question the honesty of a person during the initial dating stages. For example, If I asked someone is there anything about me that bothers you and she says no, but three months into the relationship she says I never liked the idea of you being a writer. Do you think this is fair?
