Re: To tell or not to tell..
If the guy is secure enough with himself…he wont get worked up about it and be able to handle it.
Why are you so stuck over that phrase? Its so juvenile.
If someone wants to leave their past in the past…they have every right to do so. Because the only person that has any right to it is themselves. No one else has any right to go digging or bringing it up. If its something like a prior marriage, kids, divorce, etc then share because it might affect their future. But if its a stupid crush from when you were 21…leave it be.
If it was intimate, I would advise getting tested before committing. If it was just someone you liked but things never progressed, leave it there.
