Sharing problems

If you are still on the stage of getting-to-know phase, sharing things that depressed you might give a negative impression that you are always burdened with things in your life. And that would scare him away. If you really want to talk about it with him, have a try first, like siting some examples. If he feels comfortable sharing things like that, then that is the time that you can open it up to him. But remember, don't overdo it cause it might have a bad impression in the long run of the discussion. Just take it lightly as you go along. Having depression is quite stressing. Sharing it to others has an equivalent feeling as well. So you better be sensitive of the reactions of the person you are talking with. If they give sypathy to wwhat you share, then that would be a good sign. He has concern for you and it matters in a relationship.

I think that it is very important to share your worries and fears before getting romantically involved. I would not want to be with someone romantically if that person did not really know me. By letting the person know the real you, before anything happens, you have a special bond when you finally do get together. My advice, coming from a middle aged woman, wait on the romance. Make sure the feelings are really there before you take it further. How much more depressed would you feel if you did jump into romance, then he dumps you weeks, later after you tell him everything?

Seems like you would fix this depression thing before having any relationship. Dinner out could lend itself to some levity and calming so that maybe with help it would reverse or reduce itself. We should be the best us we can be before entering into a relationship with anyone. Good luck with this.

I think that it is important to tell the person you love things of that nature, secrets are not good. They have a right to know what is going on in your mind becuase they will have to deal with it at some point, and it is better to be well informed ahead of time instead of being hit with it like a ton of brick. Hope all turns out OK.

I would just be open and honest with him from the start. If he has feelings for you and a heart then he will show you respect and care for your feelings. If he runs from you, then you may not want to spend the rest of your time with someone like that anyway. Don't let men play with your heart and your emotions. Be you and if they don't like it, then too bad. I have waisted alot of time trying to please men. It is time for them to please you!

Only share it if you are comfortable and feel you are at a point that you can trust him. If you tell him and he decides not to be with you based on that, then he is not worthy of you anyway. You deserve someone who cares about you and all your problems.

Well I guess it depends on what your depressed about. If your depressed about a problem at work or something maybe your new partner can help by giving you some positive advice now if your depressed about on ex lover or past relationship then I would say NO.
