Mistake #9: Oversharing
Immediately disclosing major personal issues – like that your mother was an alcoholic, you have a chronic health condition or your kid is on drugs – can also push away a new suitor.
The first few weeks of the relationship aren’t the time to come clean about your burdens.
And relationship experts warn to be careful of overburdening your beau.
“When people are in love, they can take on a lot of the other person’s baggage,” she says.
Dating tip: Unless he’s ready to commit, learning all that personal information up front can feel like being hit by a tsunami – and lead to relationship disaster, she says, so sprinkle those breadcrumbs gingerly.
MY THOUGHTS
if i seriously want a guy to be a permanent fixture in my life, i would 'overshare' early on in the relationship. i would much rather he backs-off earlier than later. if he bulks at 'skeletons in my closet' and my 'dirty laundry' then i don't want him anywhere near me.
