No, not the list of your dating requirements (That was Sunday), but the list of people you've slept with. A few rules to manage that sensitive topic. 1) Like your sorority's sacred motto, THE LIST should never be written down or reduced to an electronic format. From what I hear, it can only lead to trouble. Think about it, how do you explain to your boyfriend what exactly he and his homeboy (that you are rumored to have slept with) have in common? Why are both of their names (and a few more) on a list in your bedroom nightstand? Trust me, its a road you don't wanna go down. 2) Think long and hard about disclosure. Its a question all boyfriends will ask. "So, how many people have you been with?" Is it any of their business? The number could surprise you and the names may haunt you. As long as you disclose any past/present STDs, maybe they have all the information they need. Besides, I do not want to know his head count! Whether or not you are honest depends on the level of commitment between you and your boo. If he's "the one" then I'm an advocate for full disclosure (if he loves you, then he'll love you despite your past). If he's not so important, then leave him in the dark. If you decide to conceal the truth, then number three becomes extremely important. 3) Commit your sleep number to memory. There's nothing worse than saying in August that your beau is number 2 for him to hear from you in December that he's number 5. That slip up could result in a white lie induced fade to black. Since many of the ladies in the world are picking "safe" numbers to throw out, lets attempt to vary it a bit my darlings. We can't all use the number 3. Now, no man will ever believe it because he's heard that line before. It messes it up for those who really have been with 3 people pre the current boyfriend! So, some of you should start taking the 7-10 range, while others play it safe with 1 or 2.
Whatever your story, I hope that you're stickin' to it!
