Keep conversation lightish for now
If you pride yourself on being an open book, and you did a lot of personal work to become comfortable with your past, you may want to shout the details of your life from a rooftop — or at least share them over a first date meal. Perhaps your dad had an affair on your mom, or your parents had substance abuse issues, or you grew up with some other heavy experience. Hey, everybody has their stuff. But when you share that stuff with someone, you instantly feel a bit closer to them, and it’s good to pace out what you share with a new date. You can get to know someone, and let them get to know you, without sharing your traumas right away. And if you don’t know how to do that, that’s very much worth exploring.
