so the guy im going out with recently asked me if i was a virgin and i told him yes. Even though im not i really didnt want him thinking i sleep around with people because im only 16. i know im very young but yea. i dont know if i should tell him the truth or not
K1timeatbandcamp answered Sunday June 26 2005, 5:50 pm: you should tell him the truth. The only way for relationships to work out and stay strong are if they are based on truth. If you start with one lie, they can grow, and if you tell more lies the trust that is necessesary in a relationship can dissolve and so can the relationship.

sheila_DUHH answered Sunday June 26 2005, 1:40 am: Yes, i think you should tell him because hes your boyfriend. You would be mad if he told a lie about something important. Just say remember when i said i was a virgin,i lyed. I didn't want you think I've been around the block. [ sheila_DUHH's advice column | Ask sheila_DUHH A Question ]

trust me, i learned that the hard way. lol
just explain to him that you didn't want him to think you were a slut, but you really arent a virgin. if he really cares about you he'll understand and not hold it as a grudge on youu! [ xxspillmyheartforyouxx's advice column | Ask xxspillmyheartforyouxx A Question ]
Mackenzie answered Saturday June 25 2005, 2:33 pm: Wow, I think you should DEFINITELY DEFINITELY tell him the tRuth!!!
Just because you'Re 16 and aRe not a viRgin does NOT mean you sleep aRound; *I* know that, *YOU* know that. And I'm shoRe *HE* will know that too. And if not, and he winds up thinking less of you, you'Re best of dRopping that fuckeR like a Rock anyhow!!!! [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
ItSmYtRadEmaRk15 answered Friday June 24 2005, 2:12 pm: I think you should tell him. It may hurt him more to konw that you lied about it than it does to know that you have done it before. But, if he truly loves you he will understand and not judge you by thinking that you "sleep around." Neve be afraid to tell someone the truth about yourself. Hope i helped!

TheSouthernChick answered Friday June 24 2005, 12:50 am: I agree with the previous "tell him" advice you've received. I would say, "When you asked me if I was a virgin, it bothered me. It made me think that you would judge me if I said 'yes.' So I lied. I have had sex before. I don't sleep around a lot, but I'm not a virgin. I'm sorry that I was not immediately honest with you. Now I have a question for you -- why did you want to know that? Are you just wanting to know your risk in sleeping with me, are you just being nosey, or has someone said something rude about me and you want to find out if it's true?"
But that's just me; I'm very straightforward. And I recognize that in today's world of sexually transmitted diseases, he has a right to know his exposure risk in sleeping with me.
If he had asked me that question, I would have first asked why he wanted to know, then told him, "No, but I'm a responsible person and have been careful and discreet and safe. I don't think you'd be at any health risk for sleeping with me, and I have a good reputation. Anything else you need to know?"
Refuse to answer any of the "with who?" questions, by the way; that's none of his business.
Good luck, and be careful with your sex. It's very easy to get emotionally tangled up with someone you're sleeping with, mistaking physical intimacy for true person-to-person relationship intimacy.
TrueHope10 answered Thursday June 23 2005, 11:43 pm: Tell him...eventually he will find out and will probably be mad if he knows you lied to him....If he finds that out he might not trust you anymore and might even break up and you definetly don't want that to happen [ TrueHope10's advice column | Ask TrueHope10 A Question ]
SQuiRToFLeMoN answered Thursday June 23 2005, 9:30 pm: if you are young and you have a boyfriend tell him whatever you want about your sexual activity because unless you slept with his best friend how is he going to find out and what if you think the first time was a mistake and you want to keep it a secret [ SQuiRToFLeMoN's advice column | Ask SQuiRToFLeMoN A Question ]
Courtney answered Thursday June 23 2005, 9:15 pm: It depends on what kind of relationship you want. A relationship based on lies or the kind of good relationship with trust. It depends on what kind of guy he is. If he can accept you not being a virgin, then you should be alright although it may cause some trust issues for not being honest in the 1st place. If he can't accept it, you might be putting your relationship here on the line . So if you don't want a relationship based on lies, I suggest you tell him. If he can't accept that and see past that then you should know that he can't accept you. And if he can't do that then he doesn't deserve you. You deserve better. So try to strive for something better because you deserve better for you. [ Courtney's advice column | Ask Courtney A Question ]
