Do I tell??

Hi I've been kind of MIA on the board lately- but I have a grrrrrrrreat reason! I met a new guy It's still super early, but he's very nice and I'm in like with him so far. So we'll see what happens with all that. I feel like I should tell him that I had surgery. I mean it's a huge part of my life. BUT at the same time, I feel like it really shouldn't matter to him. I guess I just have to find the right time. Any advice?? Keep your fingers crossed for me- this one seems like a keeper! Kathy

Oh wow Kathy! Very cool and nice reason to be away from the boards!!!! I think the time will come to "share" your experiences. Especially since if you are dating/going out to dinner. He might start to worry about your small portions LOL! He might think he REALLY makes you nervous!!! Seriously though, I am VERY happy for you!!! How exciting!!! Donna

Yes- it's exciting. Still early, but I like him so far, so we'll see. Thanks!! Kathy

Kathy, That is so exciting. I'm an old married fart, boring I know lol but I do remember back to how exciting it was meeting someone new. You will tell him about the surgery when it comes up. I don't think I could be able to keep it to myself for long as I have a big mouth. I tell strangers I had it so LOL. I know you said its early so just have fun and go with how your feeling on the matter! Hugs, Rebecca

Yep- I'm usually like that too. I'm 100% not afraid to tell people I had surgery. But for some reason this is a bit of a different situation for me. I'm sure I'll know when the time is right. Thanks!! Kathy

You said it yourself, "still super early". The right time will come to tell him. Congrats on the new romance! It's vague, but I can recall how warm & fuzzy it feels...LOL

It is warm and fuzzy...I'm keeping my fingers crossed. So far he seems like a keeper! Thanks!! Kathy

Well, that is exciting news! I agree with the rest of the gals, you'll know when the time is right and look at it from his point of view. When you go out to eat you are a cheap date. LOL It will work out if its meant to be. Hugs, Sue

I like the cheap date theory!! No ****tails and I can eat from the appetizer menu!! Saves a few dollars!! Thanks Sue

I would wait until the time was right, you'll know it. I asked this in the RNY forum last month because I too had met someone and wasn't sure how to bring it up. It ended up not working out so I'm glad I didn't bring it up until things were more official. I'm so happy for you Kathy...you deserve an amazing man who sweeps you off your feet. Keep us posted
