Dating and your privacy
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I am of the belief that I should know pretty much all the standard information about you when I date you. Not so much because I am nosy (well, I am a little nosy), but also because I really need to know exactly what type of character a person has.
I feel that if two people are making room in their lives for each other, you eventually become privy to some things. These details can range from his favorite brand of toothpaste, to his favorite body part on a female. I like knowing! It makes me feel more comfortable and I reciprocate that by being more open too.
I don’t go at men like some investigative reporter, but I like to engage in discussions that would reveal certain things. When I am unable to get a good read on a guy, I can get nervous and neurotic! My imagination kicks to high gear and I wonder if he is being TOO mysterious. Has anyone else felt this way? I get the sense this is strictly a girl thing!
Do you ever wonder if someone you are dating has something to hide?
Guys, do you think that your privacy in dating is important? Do you like to be the mysterious stranger or are you an open book?
What (and when) do you reveal things to someone you are dating? If you are divorced, do you share details about your first marriage?
How private should you be when you are dating someone new and you want to explore a relationship?
