You or yourself

The correct sentence is "Can you tell me something about yourself?"

What about in the following example?

There's something about you that I really like.
There's something about yourself that I really like.

When do we use the object pronoun 'you' over 'yourself' and vice versa?

For me as a native British English speaker "you" is correct in that phrase.

For more about using you and yourself look at this thread. CalifJim and Mister Micawber make some interesting comments about differences in usage.

AnonymousHi,is it wrong to say "Can you tell me something about you?"or does it have to be "Can you tell me something about yourself?"Thank you.

I believe that this is one reason we have the reflexive pronouns. I vote for yourself.

Thank you, Louise, for your explanation and the link, which was very useful.
Thank you, too, Philip, for your helpful response.
