Did you ever talk about a relationship (not necessarily just on mingle) and then regret you did?

How long are you involved with someone before you make it official by announcing it to your friends/family?

Yeah...the last time, I wanted to wait but he posted anyway...bit of a mistake, but oh well. Waited a bit this time

Yeah, I won't be doing that again anytime soon either.....
Congrats on the new guy!

the family i'm close with can tell if i'm happy so they would know I was lets say in like with someone its written all over my face

That rosy glow eh? I always thought that came from good sex.

Once. It was very very stupid. I learned something.



I never tell anybody anything.

its been so long just the thoughts of sex can give me a rosy glow

Friends know pretty quickly, some family...very few members of my family, like about one.

I think a good luck might be in order to you too!!!

So is there some sort of etiquette about the waiting period before you announce such things?

Keepin' it quite quiet.

Awwwwwww, but ya let out a few lil' details and I think it's fantastic. I'm happy for you!

Yes, I am beginning to think I post way to much information about myself and or relationships on here. Some of these girls I have messaged back and forth with, drop off the face of the earth. They probably looked at a few of my more outrageous posts on here.

I don't really understand the problem with it...I mean if you are upfront with who you are and what you are about, then anything you would have posted in the past would be fitting with who you told them you were. The girl I'm with right now knows who I am, and she has looked at past postings...if she is concerned about maybe the demeanor or attitude of the post she asks me about it and I explain it. Luckily how I post and who I am in real life are damn near spot on.

Huh, you brought up something I didn't even think of. I was referring more to the embarrassment of having to explain if something goes wrong. I wasn't even thinking of the next girl/guy reading your old posts. Yeah, I don't think that's a big deal either. Shouldn't be anything there that would alarm someone, and if there is......well.

exactally,if you are real,and just be your self then whats the problem?people should be happy that your happy?there is no time frame,its different for each person.

Even then I still don't see the problem, I've had a couple from this site that I put out had failed. I also didn't blame one or the other for the failure, I can't say one way or the other if maybe they weren't as attracted as they had thought in the first place to me or if my personality turned them off. In the long run I could really care less, I will always be me and whether or not someone is attracted to me is not of much concern to me...figure I find someone that will be attracted to it, and so far I think I have as we are both happy with each other.

I don't offcially announce anything, especially a relationship. That just sounds corny to me.

I neither hide my life, nor broadcast it; mostly it just comes up in casual conversation.

I've always been somewhat private about my personal life and I have always said that I don't want anyone (especially online people) getting into my living room and/or my bedroom.

I'm sure anyone who bothers to read my posts knows that I've been dating Quiet for a couple of years (since it's not a secret) but I'm also sure most don't know much about us at all (which is how we like it, and as most others probably do too. No one wants to constantly read about the on-goings of others' lives).

But I live vicariously through you all......if you don't keep me updated I'll have nothing to do!

Actually I don't mind at all reading about people's lives. But then I like reality tv too, and I know you are polar opposite on that.
