“Things come apart so easily when they have been held together with lies.”
-Dorothy Allison
When meeting someone new it is such a *takes a deep breath* *smells the roses* fresh feeling. The excitement and anticipation of getting to know that person becomes like a scavenger hunt. You have long drawn out phone conversations about "Where they like to eat and what cuisine is their favorite" "What they like to do for fun and what their interests are". You yearn to know what each other are like on other levels, intimately and longevity. You go on multiple dates to spend quality time together and have a feel of what it's like being in that persons company.
Though I've painted the perfect picture of what coming into a new relationship feels like, I have to remind you that you never really know a person until you know a person. When dating someone new both parties tend to want to make a great impression as to catch the eye of the other. You both want to dress like a million dollars to show off your impeccable taste. Wine and Dine at fancy venues to show off your quality in going out. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with wanting to make an distinctive mark to leave the other party WOOED!!!! However this brings me to the subject in hand which is though you want to gain the love, admiration, crush, feelings etc of the other party, under no circumstance do you want to make any of the things you say about yourself, any thing that you may mislead turn into LIES!!!! Particularly there are six to be exact that you definitely Do Not want to LIE about......
WHATS YOUR NUMBER??
Ever seen the movie??? Well this is numeral number one we feel shouldn't be discussed period when coming into a new relationship. Numbers are in reference to "how many partners you've had". This is something that both parties should keep to themselves. This should never be brought up in general conversation because at the end of the day it holds NO RELEVANCE!!!! What does that matter when the only thing that should is each other.
AGE
Aaliyah might've said "Age aint nothing but a number" but truth be told and with the way the laws are set up this is not something to play games with.
If you have children in meeting someone who doesn't, never lie about yours!! First meetings and getting to know someone is not necessarily telling everything, but telling the key points of your life which does involve the answer to the question "Do you have children". No woman wants to date prince charming only to find out months down the road that he has a shit load of children and vice versa!
LIVING ARRANGEMENTS
This one is key!!!!! Like we discussed in the introduction to this post, we know each party wants to make their best impression.........however this does not mean that you claim to live in a penthouse in the city when in actuality you live at home with your mama!!!
MARRIAGE GOALS
In this day and age you never know what your getting into with someone. While one party may dream of a marriage with the house and kids to fill it, the other party could be thinking if only for one night thoughts. Hhhhmmmm....this is why when meeting someone new and throughout the long conversations over dinner or such you should definitely discuss out in the open what your marriage goals are and if marriage is something you want at ALL!!!!!
EX FACTOR
Last but definitely not the least is the Ex factor, factor!!!! Everyone has a past and we can all understand that but under no circumstance should that ex become apart of what you are trying to build new!!! This means no one is going to tolerate the ex who is stalking you while out on a date. Calling at all crazy times of the day!!! Please check your ex's out once out of your life, Thank You!!!
