being open with my boyfriend
My boyfriend and I have been going out for almost 8 months. He is also my first boyfriend, which I know is a little weird since I was 17 when we started going out.
Before him, there was only one other guy who I briefly casually dated a few times but it fizzled out. Other than that my guy history is empty.
Whenever my current boyfriend asks me about who I've last dated I change the subject or dance around it. To me its awkward and embarrasing to talk about since he has had numerous people he's dated before me. I also know that he deserves to know this stuff and it shouldn't be a big deal, but it just makes me feel weird.
I really don't know what to do about it, but the subject does come up from time to time.
Any advice on how to approach this?

Deja Vu same thing happened to me. I only dated ONE guy before meeting the love of my life. I felt so ... inexperienced I guess you could say, never kissed anyone before either. Finally I just told him about the one guy. He was shocked and I thought .... oh no... he thinks I'm a freak :/
HOWEVER he was shocked and he was glad... he couldn't believe it but he didn't think I was a freak at all. He said that it showed that I don't date around I truely care about someone when I chose them. 7 months later we are still together <3 SO you have to tell him. It is no big deal, really!!!

I get why you would find it embarassing to have not had as many partners as you boyfriend but then again you should feel proud and he should respect you for not having so many and lucky to have you. The next time he asks you about your past relationships just simply tell him the truth, just be like to honest I havn't really had many relationships but I did date this one guy but it fizzled out. Normally if your boyfriend is asking about past relationships its either just to get to know you or to see if they have anything to be jealous about. Don't fret about it so much because if you have been together for this long then just telling him when he next asks won't be bad at all and he'll respect you :) Hope this helps!!xx
