If you really like you will tell straight away! He won't care if he really likes you. Look at it as a nice little "love"-test.

Myrrh agony auntHi. I would just tell him and get it over with. It will be easier to do it now rather than wait, because the longer you leave it the worse you will feel. My partner owned up to a few lies after we had been together a year and he felt it was safe to confess. I thought him a little unfair and sneaky for doing that to me and its still a sore point. On the other hand... i lied to him about my age when we met. I dropped 2 years. It bothered me and i owned up within the first week of knowing him. It was taken well by him and i dont think he even remembers it now. The choice is yours but i know what i would do x

Sweet-thing agony auntI'd wait until he tells you he's completely and utterly in love with you. That way you know he's not going to bail over something silly like that. Just try to avoid talking about it (without looking obvious and raising more suspicions) and let it ride. If your relationship is really going to become serious, it won't matter in the long run.

He can find out if he googles you, without you telling him. But isn't quite a diference. Off the topic: why would you want to date someone sooo much younger that u? He is just a kid, and you ready to have some kids of your own/ Just a thought how women make all the wrong choices and then end up with no families, no kids to love.

A male reader, CaringGuy United Kingdom +, writes (21 July 2010):

You do need to tell him. I'm dating an older woman (13 years older), and she originally said she was ten years older than me. She did come clean, to be fair, and it didn't affect me to be honest. Hopefully, it won't affect him. But logically, at some point, he will find out. So just tell him that you didn't tell him the truth because you like him so much and you were worried he wouldn't be interested (stroke his male ego while you tell him, that will soften it no end). You do need to tell him, but it's not as big as it seems.
