There is only one thing that I
want to know in the beginning.
Just one.
The state of their heart.
Is it free, and true.
Open and available.
Hopeful.

Or are there ghosts when you
are alone together.
People past, events past.
And the past becomes the present.
I would like to see that shared.

its kind of hard to define 'upfront',,

I Think relationships are a process, I certainly believe sometime BEFORE deep feelings develop or substantial time is invested,,,certain things should be shared to give the other a fair chance at an educated decision of how far to proceed

things like,, gender confusion, sexual fetishes, sexual preferences, marital status, parental status, criminal status, and extra or missing body parts,,,,,


Upfront would be in the beginning, as when you're beginning to date.

The things I look for:

If they are single
What they're looking for - dating, just sex, relationship...
If they have children. If so, do they have time to date?
If they have odd working hours, or work very long hours. If so, do they have time to date?

beginning as in very first date? before you have gotten to know anything else?

that would seem forward

I think things should evolve into discovery before either has gotten their hearts or their pockets in too deep,,,first date wouldnt apply for me,,,that would be TOO quick

You're over thinking things. Yes, in the beginning. That's why I said upfront. I'm not asking for everything you want to know about someone. Just what you want to know in the beginning.

The things I listed above are things I'd like to know right away. And no, I don't think it would be too forward.

When getting to know someone and starting to date, what are things you think should be brought up? What should people be upfront about?


That's a good question actually. For me I would only be up front with what I feel comfortable with; however I usually do say what's on my mind anyways.

I am not quick to offer up all my life just for someone who may be interested in a date. If they are that interested then they will have to put in the time to know me.
If not... bye- bye

When getting to know someone and starting to date, what are things you think should be brought up? What should people be upfront about?


What their current status is: separated; divorced; single never married; or widowed. If divorced how many other marriages they have had.

What type of relationship they are looking for or they want from the person they are dating.

If or not a person has children living at home and if so, how many children they have.

What their relationships are like with: their parents, children, siblings and, if divorced with their ex-spouse.

What they like to do in life and do in life: interests; hobbies; activities; their job ... etc.

If they smoke or not and, if they drink, how much do they drink.

These are things I would like to know after dating a few times and I feel important in order for each other who are dating to make a decision whether to carry on or not. When you are in your fifties as I am, people know what they want or not in life and what in a mate they are looking for. Life is short and time is precious and as you get older even more so.

People who are not upfront leads to an automatic turnoff. No one likes to be lied to. I believe 99.9% of the population would want their mate to be truthful to each other. If a person is not upfront in the beginning they most likely would not be either later in life together. Things that are not upfront tend to surface over time anyway so, better to be upfront in the beginning.
