Online dating question..

Looking at going back to online dating in the next couple of months. I saw a TikTok the other day..a Psychologist explaining that you shouldn’t give out much info about yourself regarding your past..what has gone wrong etc so as not to allow them to repeat behaviour.

lots of the comments disagreed and asked what you were supposed to say and do as you’d look like you were hiding stuff.

i found it interesting because some of the stuff I’ve told previous dates has made them think I’m vulnerable and I attract the behaviour I’ve had..

What do most of you do when it comes to stuff like this when meeting someone new? Maybe I need to change how I come across a bit?!

Did your ex think that good family relationships should override things like abuse, neglect etc?

I'm all for good family values but understand that some people have family relationships that have broken down for various reasons and I don't judge.
The world is not perfect.

@summersolstice43 agreed. I’ll be far more sparse with what I share in future!

@SortingItOut funnily enough he was very questioning on many aspects yet wasn’t very forthcoming with parts of his life. Lesson learnt hey!
