Oops, I have just realised i posted this in the wrong area so am trying again…
I am a 20 year old woman who has recently been engaging with a gentleman (aged 31) on a reputable online dating site. Subsequent to exchanging a number of emails we decided to meet up and from the onset appeared to connect. A second date has now been arranged. However, when writing my initial online profile I set my age to 24. I must stress that this was not done to deceive; I strongly believe that trust, honesty and respect are integral facets’ of all healthy human relations and form a framework for establishment of the same. My rationale is simply that, although chronologically I am 20, nobody thinks this, as due to life experiences etc, I appear and can be said to be, psychologically a great deal older. The latter is reflected within my friendships/ career / interests etc. I am now concerned that I may jeopardise any future that may or may not transpire between us by disclosing what I have done, whilst conversely feeling that it would be wrong and immoral of me not to do so. I would greatly appreciate some guidance!
