Don’t Lose Who You Are
It is incredibly important that while you are dating someone, you don’t lose who you are. There are too many people that start dating someone, only to forget everything that they loved before they met this person. The person that you are dating found you attractive in the first place, part of it is because you had your own life and you had your own hobbies. If that person doesn’t like it now, then maybe it’s time that you reevaluate your relationship.
Whatever hobbies you loved before, keep doing it! If you have no idea how to get back into it if you already feel like you have lost part of yourself, take small steps.
If you loved cooking, head to a cooking class and learn something new.
If you loved exercise, get up an hour early and go for a run.
There are those that were into dancing at clubs at all hours. If your significant other isn’t into doing this, you may just give it up all together. Suggest to your significant other that you go once in awhile with each other. If you don’t miss the club scene but miss the dancing, start taking a dance class.
You can also look for a volunteer opportunity that matches just what you are looking for.
Just remember, while you share your life with someone that you’re dating, it doesn’t mean that they should become your life.

I agree, losing myself was a problem I had in my early 20’s but now, I am what I am and my BF loves me for it.
I have a lot of friends that have done this. It is quite annoying to those watching their friend lose themselves. There should be a support group for this condition!
