Making disclosures about oneself is part of friendship.
The more you feel comfortable with someone the more you disclose. But someone on a first meeting who goes on blabbing about failed relationships, family history, and blah blah blah, I'm prolly thinking two things, drama queen, and an "it's all about meeeee" type. |

I am going with a. I like a little mystery in a person and really don't have a need to know every little intimate detail. I feel some things are better left unsaid.

I'm a talker and will talk about anything if they can not do the same or it bugs them that I'm that way then they need to move on...
I'm pretty open about my life and would rather be around those that enjoy getting to know the person they are with. |

I wasn't aware of Guatemala as a honeymoon haven? Or was that not the reason for the trip request? Various reasons with various situations. But I'm not up for that trip. There's no way I'm going to Guatemala without an Ambassadorship. |

There's no way I'm going to Guatemala without an Ambassadorship. Oh I thought it was the honeymoon idea that made you skittish somehow I dont see u in a tux much less in a pair of jams on a beach with a fruity drink that has a little umbrella brought 'round by a cabana boy... |

i think for me, it depends on the situation.... i like to get to know a lot about people rather quickly here, because its not like in person when i can tell if they give me that creepy vibe. I wont meet someone until i know pretty much their entire life story...
but if this is with the first 10 messages and i know every detail of every previous relationship, then yeah.... thats too much.... |

I would have defused that bomb long before the word "honeymoon" could have been brought up.... I've never been in a tux and I don't intend to start now. And I don't even remember the last time I got "dressed up" for anything. Maybe my aunt's wedding when I was 10. |

How many times have you been in the very early stages of chatting to someone and they give you their whole life history in the first few exchanges..How do you react? Do you: a) Head running for the hills? b) Continue in the hopes that they are just nervous? c) Admire them for being open/honest? d) Tell them that it was WAY too much information? Personally, I would always choose D because I have found what information people are comfortable disclosing differs from person to person. these types of premature disclosures tend to make me rather uncomfortable - to me getting to know someone should be more like slowly peeling the layers of an onion than having their life history burst out of a bottle where the cork has been popped What I would do is attempt to redirect the conversation and if that did not work neither would further dating and I might end the evening early. - nothing like that has ever happened so this is supposition, really I agree but there's something to be said about knowing 'the worst' upfront so that all of the skeletons are out of the closet..then you can just get the know the person without waiting for the sky to fall. |

Yeah..as Motown said, I think that as a relationship evolves, the more you disclose. |
