I’m glad you learned not to try to be what you think the other person wants.
What I meant by authenticity goes more than that. It’s gaining an intuitive knowing of who you really are, past the layers of beliefs and conditionings. It’s more that just who you think the person you are dating expects. It is also your parent’s expectations, or even your religious and cultural expectations. It goes past even what you _think_ you should be.
That’s why I said, meditation helps with this process, and so does therapy.
So more than actions, it is also beliefs, values, and attitudes.
