    Well it's none of their business until it affects the relationship.

    So if you're just casually seeing each other then you don't need to say more than "I'd rather do things that aren't expensive as I'm a bit skint atm".

    However if you're thinking of moving in with each other or going on holiday together or something like that then you need to be totally upfront and as soon as it's mentioned be like "look, I have some serious financial issues and can't afford it"

    There's no point scaring someone off before you've had a chance to see where it's going.

    Yeah true, Its just i dont like lieing like, Like to be honest to a women so sometimes i have covered it up, But as you put it like that it seems different

    we're actually very inteeligent wordy types normally :rolleyes:

    as to when confessing to debts I would say that rather depends on how much the debts impinge on your lifestyle & how serious the dating is .

    tell us more .... & we'll try to help as best we can ;)

    what ya drinking to :).

    Well at the minute they dont realy impinge id say, But i have a thing for the older women ya see, So idealy would prefer to not have the debt hanging over me head if u see wat i mean

    To be honest there are very few people in this world that DONT have debts so the chances are that anyone you hook up with will have debts too. What kind of magnitude are we talking? If you're total debts are less than about 2yrs salary I wouldn't panic. If they're bigger then maybe you should worry less about women and more about becoming DFW!
