Topic: Disclosing the past | |
---|---|
Another thread brought this question to mind.
How much of your past are you obligated to disclose to a casual date? How much do you tell a serious suitor? What do you save for when you know you want to spend your life with this person? How much is just your business, and never needs to be disclosed? |

It seem's, if you don't fess up then, you're a liar. But, being upfront is no guarantee of understanding.

I think as a casual date you don't have to tell your whole life story, but as you get to know someone I think you should open up and trust that they are going to accept you no matter what your past may be-good or bad.

What do you save for when you know you want to spend your life with this person? How much is just your business, and never needs to be disclosed? I think (from experience) on a date you sort of casually talk about things, when you are asked...like if you've been in a relationship--how much experience you've had with relationships. From that point on I think you just play it by ear. When you're comfortable enough just disclose some of your information and if they respond well, go with it. Eventually you form a close relationship. |

i think its a question best left for the individual.. i dont think you're really obligated to tell a casual date anything withan exception of diseases if your gonna have sex. obviously a serious suiter you would want to tell more and that special someone.. well if they really are that special someone it shouldnt matter what you did in the past and you should be more than happy to share everything knowing that.

Share whatever you feel comfortable sharing at whatever time in the relationship you feel comfortable sharing it. |

I had a date recently....can you believe that?
During my date...actually very early on in the date...she disclosed a couple of things that were like.......well......way too much for a first date. But it was important to her that she tell me but....I really didn't recover from the information overload until the next day. I don't feel that I was able to relax and be myself during the date...like it was totally sabotaged.... Be careful what and and how much you say..... |
