Perhaps you are single by choice–you want to be on your own for a while, enjoying the freedom and benefits of adulthood. Perhaps it’s not your choice, and a divorce, death, or broken relationship has propelled you back into singleness. Or maybe the opportunity for a serious relationship has never arisen. But whatever your situation,…
To minimize the shock and creep factor, I now think it’s wiser to stagger your disclosure. Consider breaking it into the following stages: Stage One: The homework/detective stage.
