I have been going out with this guy for 10 months, I am 21 and he is 22. Things are going well (except some fights we have sometimes but we always manage to make up), I really like him, however, I feel that we do not really know each other. We talk about our friends, etc but we haven't told our parents about us being in a relationship yet and we do not talk about our past relationships. I really want to tell him about this and ask him if he feels okay if we tell our parents and become 'more serious'. Also I want to ask him if he had any past serious relationships and how many girls he has been with (if any). Should I just ask these right away? We are not sexually active, we just fool around a bit but we never have or talk about sex and I have no idea if he has ever been with anyone else and it is starting to bother me.

It's none of your business who and how many he dated before you. That's only his business and memories. All you need to know and find out, especially if you two end up in a sexual relationship, is that he is free of STDs. And visit your doctor to make sure you are too, if you've been sexually active.

It is NEVER a good idea to talk about past relationships...it usually ends up with jealousy and hurt feelings. This is stuff that happened before you and is none of your business but too many people press the issue and then once the box is open, it can't be closed again.

He's 22... unless he's a total dork... he's been with someone before... does it really matter if it was one... or if it was one hundred? Well maybe it was if it was 100, but he'd be a hero among his peers if it was and he'd be famous for it.

There is an old saying... "be careful what you ask for....you might get it."

Meaning you don't get to gripe about his life before he met you... so why is it so importatnt to know after only 10 months... as long as he is STD free.....and isn't a registered sex offender.

Here I'll say little different than others! First ill say, If you want to share about the past you can but be careful, if he is interested to hear that then only you proceed! Then If he wants to share too, let him do that and support and understand him in that, but don't force him to share anything! If he don't want to, its his choice! However, There are people who really think that it is important to tell the person about past relationships if they are committing for a serious relationship and there are people who don't want to share bcos they don't want to hurt their partner! Its how you and your BF think about this matter!
All the best! :)

If after 10 months you cannot express yourself honestly, then the relationship hasn't gotten far enough, or isn't going much further.

There should be no reason to ever discuss past lovers. At his age, he obvioiusly had. But if at 17 he had 6 and then changed, do you really want to know.

Your and his past sexual relationships is no one business and discussing it is not a good idea. I have no idea why anyone wants to do this.

Why do parents not know? Is it not all over Facebook?
