^^I know that if I'm honest and they get to know me, it'll be alright because I've still got a lot more to offer even without exclusivity (and, in fact, I can offer more this way b/c I'm living the way I want to). And yes, honesty build trust and enables one to be open. The fear I still have around the issue is that I think if I lead with that, they assume all kinds of things about me based on their previous experiences with other people and media conditioning, and not take the time to get to know me further, which would eventually reveal that I am, in fact, "a good guy". And if I did want an exclusive relationship, I wouldn't lead with that on a date either, so why should I with the opposite? I'm guessing the right moment to bring it up is when it naturally comes to mind.. thoughts?
Sorry for sidetracking Jackpot. Its a general issue, though.
Yea the right moment to bring it up is when you choose to become vulnerable. Vulnerability is strength that is perceived by many as a weakness. In my case scenario I decided that I wanted to express myself and say hey , I miss you because I taught she was and is a worthy person to have around in my life. Since we hadn't seen each other in a while because of pride , ego etc... I was thinking if I want us to develop a genuine relationship I need to let her know but in return I expect her to be vulnerable as well and not lie.
