We’ve all been guilty of making mistakes
in the past, and some of those need to
be left right there – in the past. So here
are three secrets that you need to keep
to yourself when trying to capture the
heart of that special someone.

Sharing too much information about
yourself and your past will have your
date pushing you out the door before
you get a chance to tell him your last
name. Here are a few things that are
better left unsaid. -jamana jamison
Secrets He Should Keep:
1. How many sexual partners you’ve had.
No one wants to know how many sexual
partners you’ve really had, so keep
that number to yourself.
2. That your credit score needs some
work. Unless she’s preparing to spend
the rest of her life with you, your credit
score is none of her business. Avoid the
temptation of letting her know that you
ran up enough credit card debt to fund
a small third world nation.
3. The way you’ve cheated in the past.
This is a big one. The last thing that she
needs to know is that you were a habitual
cheater. She’ll instantly think that
you’re doing more of the same with her
. which doesn’t necessarily promote a
trusting relationship.
Sharing too much information about
yourself and your past will have your
date pushing you out the door before
you get a chance to tell him your last
name. Here are a few things that are
better left unsaid.
Secrets She Should Keep:
1. Financial trouble or instability. If your
financial struggles include negative
checking account balances, major
credit card debt, evading student loans
and/or filing bankruptcy, keep it to yourself
until the two of you are at the beach
with sand between your toes on the
second day of your honeymoon.
2. Your sexual escapes of the past. Love
without a limit may have been your
motto in your old college days, but sharing
how many sexual escapades you’ve
had is information that should be taken
to the grave. The truth shall set you free
and so will he.
3. Those not-so-ladylike habits. Telling
him about how you bite your toenails or
your frequent battle with flatulence after
eating dairy products may be a bit too
much for him to handle. Continue to
maintain your feminine persona until
the time is right.
