I'm due a second date with someone I met online and I really like the person. I am a single mum and choose not to reveal that in my profile, although I recognise that's controversial. I do it mainly as I live in a country where that status is not as accepted as other parts of the world, and additionally, yes, part of me wants to protect the privacy of my son. I feel a strong urge and desire to share my situation with this person and do so before a second meet as I feel they need to be given the right to chew over the info in their own space and potentially back out if it's not for them. Can anyone suggest an upbeat, non apologetic way of doing this which also acknowledges that I know it's not ideal i didn't bring this to the table a bit earlier. (we have only been in touch a week so i am probably being a bit harsh on myself)
Thanks so much - I am a terrible overthinker and wordy message writer and feel that being succinct and a little humourous might pay dividends here. All advice heartily welcomed.
