Dating/Being open

[eli77]

It does depends on how you live your life. Not many people know my history. I can't really imagine informing someone unless I already had a reason to trust that they'd at least respect my privacy.

If you treat it like a huge secret then the rest of your life will be filled with the uncomfortable and awkward "coming out"...over and over again, always worrying about your BF's reaction, their parents reaction, their friends reactions, their work reaction.

People frequently hypothesize about what my life is like. I think it would be more productive to ask though.

Beautiful story Slanan it's great to see people like you do exist! I kind of think everyone is different, we have to find our own way of embracing it and being open to our love interests. Whether your really private and shy, or outgoing and bubbly you find what's easiest to you or natural. My approach would probably be just to make friends and let things happen naturally if a relationship builds it builds but if it doesn't something or someone will pop up when least expected.
